This Pork Tastes Like Soy

Sep 19, 2007 farming, general food

Here’s an article about what the Missouri Soybean Association suggests we do with biodiesel by-product.

While it’s nice they’re trying to come up with uses for the waste, this seems a little strange to me.  Curious about how that effect the taste and texture I found another article about a study where soy fed pork was proven leaner and more healthful then the regular stuff.

But, here’s the pig quote-of-the-day:

One draw back that was noted by Jeanne Stewart (student at Iowa State) was that this special diet made the meat too soft to procure bacon from.

Does soft equal mushy? I don’t think any of us are interested in mushy pork.  And, a pig without bacon?  No thank you.
