It’s true. Life without pigs would not be the same and I’m not talking about food.
We encounter pigs in the following
Soup, Shampoo, Toothpaste, Face Cream, Concrete, Bread, Bullets, Wine, Beer, Fruit Juice, Sandpaper, Train Breaks, Cheesecake, Fine China, Tuna, Paint, and Paint Brushes. Just to name a few. We also use pig hearts to make heart valves.
Just see for yourself.
