I agree with you. And what you feed them can have an affect on flavor and consistency. I'd be interested in a taste test, as well. I'm sure, without reading the article, that he collects all the 'waste' from pot farmers (unless he's one, too), and feeds the pigs that. This is a common practice. For example, I knew a gentleman who raised his pigs and goats on a steady diet of some hay and shitloads of those cheap little debbie snack cakes. He would get shitloads of them that were about to or had just expired their sale date. Obviously, he had some kind of hookup with a distributor or something.
