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.
