Believe it or not this doesn’t sound that dissimilar from some tribal
customs where they would eat the remains of their dead relatives. To them
it was a very sentimental experience that brought them closer to their
deceased loved one.
I’m sure Roger was a very well cared for and loved pig. I’m not saying
that he willingly went out to the slaughter but that if you have to eat an
animal it makes more sense to have loved that animal while it was alive. It
is better that Roger had a life full of happiness and one very bad hour
then for a very bad life and that very bad hour still. Here’s to Roger!

Disappointed we didn’t get to see the cleaning of the caracas before it was
sent to the butcher. I’m sure it’s not pretty but it’s still part of the
process.

This is so important…not only to understand where your food is coming
from but to understand the weight/preciousness of the foods that we eat.

I’m all for this but it’s creepy that you guys are still referring to the
pork as Roger!!! But I love what you are doing,,,

Food is a powerful gateway into many important aspects of society:
economics, climate change, energy, the environment, diet, public health,
and the list goes on. Ultimately though, food can be viewed solely from a
single perspective: taste. If a food tastes fresh, and wholesome, it’s a
better than an even chance, it was produced (grown or raised) in a
sustainable manner. When it comes to the taste of meat, pastured livestock
not only live better lives, their meat tastes better, and arguably are more
nutritious to eat.

beetroot and rice just tops it of , well done. Loved the videos and learned

Agreed with +Mark Henderson, I think there’s too much emphasis being put on
“Roger” rather than the animal and the process and the blessing that comes
with being able to procure, raise and prepare your own food. I know that
plant life is different than animal life, but today I picked 3 different
lettuces, some broccoli and kale that I have given the same care for the
end purpose that I would a pig, lamb or beef but I didn’t name them on a
personal basis and bring them to the table. If you make your terrific
project too personal I think it will persuade more people to know the name
of their butcher than their food.

I hate pork and Im not Muslim. Bacon is good. But ham, pork ribs, pork
chops, Idk, just dont like it. Pig roast is good. Maybe its the way its
prepared. I eat it all tho if someone else cooks. Im not going to the store
and buying sliced ham or anything. This dont look to bad at all to me.
