★★★★ · "The hog man's pleasure" · Steve Nordby · 2003-11-19
The story of meat-type hogs, not fat-type hogs, lies somewhere between the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Babe". A firm carcass is nice from the point of the h-bone. The American housewife wants big dressed pork. The hog producer wants to give it to her. They both end up satisfied. Astonishingly great color.

With A title like THAT, how can you NOT like this? Actually, this is a pretty good exploration of what the buyer looks for when buying hogs. Made (I guess) for hog producers the film starts off bubbly with chipper music playing off. I almost thought this was going to be for kids! lol. Luckily we're spared grisly slaughter details but we do get a nice examination of a crosssliced pig, tail still attached! We find out the differences between fat and nonfat pigs. Pretty wild.

After the narrator fat-shames a poor hog, the scene cuts to the carcasses of the now-dead hog, and his leaner friend. Well, that was quick. I lost track of how many times the narrator said "meat-type hog" (is there a vegetable-type hog?). The film spends much of the time lauding hogs without fat, and urges livestock farmers to come up with more of them for Mrs. Shopper. It's odd to see actors given screen credit when they have no dialogue.
