Pig Brother

[HotStuff]

Another great program from Jamie, shame they don't do the same thing with the real "celebrities"

What do people think, is this just another vehicle for Jamie & Channel4 or should there be real concern about pig welfare?

[Hashette]

Don't know. I feel sick. This is possibly the most revolting programme I've seen ever.

Concern for his relatives???

[sharonr]

Is it like the chicken one? I had to switch that off.

[allotmentlady]

yes and no..........hmmmm watching the slaughter made me cry........thankfully i dont eat pork

[HotStuff]

Don't know. I feel sick. This is possibly the most revolting programme I've seen ever.

But is that a good or a bad thing? Are you shocked at what you saw and how does that make you feel? Do you feel that pigs should be treated better or that this kind of thing shouldn't be shown on TV?

i'm watching it now, he just served pork loin or summat, it was raw in the middle *pukes*

[allotmentlady]

having lived on a farm as a child, pigs are a very intelligent animal and thats why i dont eat pork. I source all my meat from our local butcher, supermarket meat is a no no. this programme has opened my eyes, a reality check.

[lynda66]

mine comes from the butcher too it's cheaper than the supermarket.

[allotmentlady]

a lot of people buy from supermarket cos its easier and convienient.....our local butcher even offers a free home delivery service

Just finished watching it and thought it was really good. Yes, there were some parts of it that weren't very nice to watch but it's what goes on in the meat industry. It's made me think more about where my meat comes from and how it's been treated before I cook and eat it

all my meat comes from the butcher, supermarket meat only appears cheaper in some cases, i know full well my butcher does not stand there with a syringe pumping chicken breasts full of water for a start, unfortunately sometimes what does happen, is what should be a cheap cut of meat, is not, because there is no call for it they have to buy it in especially, and that costs.

we always eat pork belly, its a fantastic cut, we will be trying shoulder this weekend if we can get it at a decent price, and the neck fillets looked really good too. I am not a fan of loin,not enough fat and comes out too dry for my taste.
