Among the earliest mentions of Porky still available online comes from 4chan's /pol/ board. [4] On June 4th, 2015, an Anonymous user posted a picture of Porky (shown below, left) and said, "Where did this picture come from? Are there really communists who post here? I thought all the SJWs hated 4chan." In the thread, one member mentions Porky by name (shown below, right). The anonymous user, "Actually Porky was originally drawed that way." According to Forbes‘s 35th annual ranking of billionaires, last year witnessed a population explosion. Some 660 new billionaires were added to the number for a total of 2,755. W hile Big Pork pushed fetal pigs onto classroom tables, one specific pork product—Spam—was central to the next important development in porcine science: the experimental minipig. The connection should come as no surprise: where science and hogs meet, the question of edibility is never far off.

Capitalist Pigs covers the Colonial period to the present in the United States and is organized thematically rather than chronologically. Anderson covers such topics as free-range hogs and their influence on early settlements, pork consumption and its shifting role from frontier and working class food to re-branded “other white meat,” early industrialization of pork production and husbandry, including a discussion of hog cholera and enclosure, the role of the hog as garbage disposal, from our earliest urban areas to the industrialized present, and finally with a discussion of the modern industrialization of the hog, including changing its very physique to match modern consumer tastes and the controversial rise of confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs). Mayakovsky – Every absence is the joy of enemies, but hero of labour is a blow against bourgeois By Vladimir Mayakovsky. In 2014, Hoenig was an informal advisor of Royalty Exchange a leading platform for buying and selling intellectual property. Atwood, however, did not invent pigoons out of whole cloth. Instead, the dream of exchanging organs between species ( xeno – as compared with conventional allo- transplantation) has been vigorously pursued since the early 1990s. As transplant pioneer Thomas Starzl and colleagues opened their 1997 article, “The Future of Transplantation”: “Further real growth of transplantation will depend on the use of animal organs.” With limited donations but ever-escalating demand for organs, alternatives appeared necessary. But those dreams have stumbled on a dauntless procession of scientific obstacles, with graft rejection (when the body fights off a new organ as alien) and potentially zoonotic diseases (those that transfer between species) at the top of the list. Many in the field, and others who left for greener pastures, joke that “xenotransplantation is the future of transplantation and always will be.” A multi-isotope analysis on human and pig tooth enamel from prehistoric Sichuan, China, and its archaeological implications.

If you can, please support the reporting you get from Mother Jones—that exists to make a difference, not a profit—with a donation of any amount today. We need more donations than normal to come in from this specific blurb to help close our funding gap before it gets any bigger.

In the vein of William Cronon’s Nature’s Metropolis,this is a meaty, accessible, and clear-eyed agricultural history."And it is only because Mother Jones is funded primarily by donations from readers that we can mount ambitious, yearlong— or more—investigations like these two stories that are making waves. That’s what a civil rights lawyer wrote to Julia Lurie, the day after her major investigation into a psychiatric hospital chain that uses foster children as “cash cows” published, letting her know he was using her findings that same day in a hearing to keep a child out of one of the facilities we investigated.

The problem, however, is that animals did die for this study, in much the same way that they died for the host of other scientific projects that have enrolled hogs in the last half-century. The notion that the realm of “science” and the factory killing floor are neatly separated is belied by the countless researchers who have explicitly described the value of industrial production for experimentation. Science remains tied to industry, now as in the past. Science remains carnivorous, yet claims, like an uneasy meat-eater, that it does not kill the animals itself. Ultimately, such arguments are a disavowal of responsibility for the role research institutions play in sustaining demand for these “by-products.” Although Capitalist Pigs doesn’t quite live up to the premise of its fantastic title, it is a worthy combination of agriculture and food history - combining the history of industrial technology and consumer uses of hogs throughout the entirety of American history. Food and agriculture historians in particular will find much of use, but American social, environmental, rural, urban, and Civil War historians will also enjoy the read.

O ne unnerving version of that future appears in Margaret Atwood’s post-apocalyptic gem Oryx and Crake (2004). In the novel, a biotech-dominated community promises its residents extended life through an unlimited supply of transplantable organs from “pigoons,” transgenic pigs holding multiple “humanized” kidneys. Fourteen years after Oryx and Crake , a New York Times Magazine piece proposed that genetically engineered pigs could make the “donor-organ shortage… a thing of the past.” As one Vox article put it, “It’s Margaret Atwood’s dystopian future, and we’re just living in it.” Producing industrial pigs in southwestern China: The rise of contract farming as a coevolutionary process.
