Keeping pigs in crates won’t make America healthy

Americans are increasingly pushing for healthier food production standards, with family farmers largely complying. However, large pork corporations, including Smithfield, are lobbying Congress to reverse these standards via the Save Our Bacon Act. This act threatens the health and welfare progress made, as it would allow the continued use of cruel and outdated practices like gestation crates for pigs. It’s a critical battle that could determine whether corporate interests undermine public health initiatives.
