    I was eating at a BBQ joint with my ~30 year old friend, when I had to break the news that the pigs don’t survive if you “only take their spare ribs.”

      This is definitely something he was told by his jokester dad or uncle when he was 8 and then never had the idea challenged since then.

        That’s entirely possible. He didn’t know where the thought originated, just that he “always thought that’s how it worked.” He saw the flaw when I asked him about piggy surgeries. His face was priceless.

        That’s still a shocking amount of willful ignorance.

        Dude legitimately thought it was more ethical. At one point in the conversation, he compared it to eating eggs. It’s a real challenge wiping tears away when your hands are all sauced up.

          It’s like bacon and eggs. The chicken is involved, but the pig is committed.

            “A morning’s work for the chicken, a lifetime commitment for the pig” as they say
