Pork tasted funny, I reported back first after landing in America. We chalked it
up to the way hogs were butchered, i.e., by electricution instead of knifing and
blood-letting, as we did in northern Chinese villages.
The other day, someone posted on Facebook:
"160 countries banned or restricted it. The FDA approved it in 1999. About
60 to 80% of US pigs are given ractopamine."
The mystery only goes deeper.
