In the process of civilizing and modernizing, Americans have been nothing if not inventive. We enjoy a society where so many products are readily available without most consumers having any understanding of, or for that matter, caring about the evolution. Or even having a need to. Take pork products. You can go to the supermarket of your choice and to the meat department and get
