Hear hear to Andrew’s unified pork theory and Omnivore’s Dilemma reportage on pork production. Well done! We should mention that the Chinese character for home 家 (jiā) is comprised of a pictograph of a roof over a pictograph of a pig. This is how central the pig to Chinese culture.
Beautiful piece. An awful lot of human activity is morally ambiguous. I have read that the sapiens craving for meat is driven by our large brains. A carnivorous viewed in that light is not immoral.
A Unified Theory of Pork Belly
Excellent stuff, Andrew. But... you don't want to give out your recipe for huiguo rou?
Somehow I missed this when it arrived in my inbox. So happy to have found it now!
An enlightening journey as always my friend.
