    A farmer a few posts ago was going on about overly processed foods like it's specific to non meat foods

    It's yet another reason, on top of the cruelty that you mention, not to eat pigs.

    For me I saw recently how 'Ham' is pork but overly coloured to make it pink.
    That additive is added during 'production'.
    The WHO has marked that additive as carcinogenic for humans.
    We don't know what is (was) in our food

    The video refers to sodium nitrite which is used a preservative and colour enhancer in certain foods.

    Decent article here

    https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/are-nitrates-and-nitrites-harmful#minimizing-exposure

    Not a huge fan of highly processed foods personally

    As for how healthy it is - Any food eaten in moderation is generally considered OK. The levels added to foodstuffs are set as values that ensure that a person consuming a typical diet would not exceed the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for these additives

    And I'm fairly sure we do know what is in our foods. Simply check the label.

    All foodstuffs:
    must comply with both the labelling provisions for food which is laid down in Regulation (EU) No. 1169/2011 as amended and with the more specific labelling for food additives as laid down in chapter IV of Regulation (EC) No. 1333/2008 on food additives. Regulation (EU) No. 1169/2011 requires the labelling of additives on all prepackaged foods

    Apparently, this is from a pig farm in Ireland.

    Sure it doesn't happen here, due to our high animal welfare.

    Warning, sad content

    The majority of pigs in Ireland are reared in pens on bare slatted flooring. #FACT
    The EU pigs directive is largely ignored. #FACT
    Nearly all pigs have clipped teeth and docked tails (Even in so called "higher welfare farms") #FACT
    They are nearly all gassed with co2, which is a very painfull death. #FACT

    #Facts is facts
    #Farms not factories
    #end pig pain

    Hi Matt007

    Would you have links to these. Searching for this information just turns up lots of results and is impossible to find the data you have quoted.

    Thanks
