Wow! This video makes the process look so pristine! Where's the footage of those cute, playful little piglets being slaughtered once they are nice and big? While this woman claims they have some sort of animal welfare certification, I wish the video went more into detail about this process before we take her word for it. I am really curious as to what sort of systematized killing we are talking about here. Also, it's very interesting that this project focused on an animal product's sustainability, when animal products are drastically less environmentally sustainable than plant-based foods. Of course this pork is a lesser evil than other pork, but we shouldn't be patting ourselves on the back just yet for our "humane" and "environmentally friendly" choices. Perhaps this video is only meant to be a human-interest, feature piece on a small farming operation, but I wish there was more critical thinking and analysis here.

@Jessica. Your statement "animal products are drastically less environmentally sustainable than plant-based foods" applies ONLY to industrial meat production. Well planned and implement intensive grazing, entirely grass-fed meat production will sequester an increasing amount of carbon every year for approximately 20 years. For an overview, see "Time" magazine's "How Cow's (Grass-fed Only) Could Save the Planet" at http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1953692,00.html Also, as pointed out by Eliot Coleman, much land in New England, for example, cannot be used to grow fruit and vegetable crops but can be used to raise both dairy and beef cattle. That's why we have the wonderful cheeses from that area. I urge you to do some more research.

Perhaps in areas where and if that is true it might be considered remotely sustainable to eat animals. But here, in North Carolina, it would be much more efficient for the farmers pictured in this video to grow vegetables instead of raise pigs.
