Just realized my 'ethical' pork source is actually pretty cruel

I always bragged about getting my pork from a nearby farm. Last week, I saw their pigs kept in tight pens with no space to move. This had me wondering if I should keep buying from them. Now I'm stuck between my ethics and my commitment to local sourcing.

That tight pen is the whole problem. Local should mean better, not just closer.

Read a piece that backs up @perry.oliver's point about local needing to mean ethical too.

Does buying local still matter if the farm is cruel?
