Not sure I understand what you're getting at here, AL. Why are pigs not good for eating? Although humans can receive transplants from pigs I think the DNA of a pig is sufficiently removed from that of a human for there not to be a moral objection on that point. And yes, I am aware of humans being referred to as "long pig" in parts of the world, and the fact that charred human flesh is said to smell of roast pork.
Generally I struggle with the meat eating thing... I am not veggie and don't think I ever could be, but I don't eat a lot of meat, and very little red meat. But somehow I can't seem to get round the fact that humans would appear to be programmed to eat meat; I'm thinking of our teeth and digestive system here. So although the process of rearing animals for meat is a little unsavoury (sorry!), I just can't seem to feel guilty about it.
Love and Light,
