After I visited the pig farm with my fellow Illinois Field Moms, I heard from a couple of the field moms that they had a difficult time eating pork. It was just so hard to see those adorable baby pigs and then think of them being dinner.
Do you think I’ll give up my holiday ham? Click here to find out!
Love how this made an impression on you and thank you so much for sharing your experience and your thoughts on this today with us. And I love that that farmer did indeed know his little animal enough to be able to calm their nerves, too.

Thanks for reading, Janine! I did think that little detail was fascinating, and wanted to include it somehow.
My husband is a hunter. He has great respect for animals. He has the meat processed after he shoots a deer and we eat it. My kids like knowing what kind of animal has provided the meat for our dinner. I wouldn’t ever stop eating meat, but it is always good to know that the animals were well-care in life.

I think hunters play an important role, too! We can’t have hunting season by us because we are too urban, and the deer in the forest preserves get diseased when there is an overpopulation.
I don’t think I’ll ever stop eating meat, either! š
