Sausage Ragu
As always with meat we buy organic or failing that free range. It’s hard to think of a more vile industry than the industrial production of animals, and especially pigs. Pigs have similar intelligence and emotional capabilities to that of dogs and yet in ‘factory’ farms, they are confined lifelong in tiny barren cages, stuffed with antibiotics. We feel so strongly on the immorality that we have been supporting turn your nose up campaign- farms not factory campaign. In the same way you would never knowingly buy a pare of shoes made by child labour, there is no excuses for buying factory farm pork. By choosing different cuts, and perhaps eating meat less frequently the books can be balanced.
