Almost like us. The whole truth about pigs. Endresen K.

Winston Churchill once said: “I like pigs. Dogs look at us from the bottom up, cats - from top to bottom, but pigs look at us like equal. " However, the relations of people and pigs are not so simple. A pig for us is a living embodiment of all dirty, vile, shameful and sinful. She deftly removed from our field of view, or rather, locked away from human eyes. The life of a pig on a large farm lasts only six months. Unlike cows, in her whole life she has never been destined to breathe fresh air, but there is no case for anyone. At the same time, a pig is an indispensable model of the human body in medical science and an animal whose meat in the past half a century we eat most often.

Christophfer Endresen traced the life path of piglets from birth to an industrial cattle -bearing and a circle collected by him in a fascinating story about gastronomic addiction and disgust, about food and moral choice.
