In winter 2015, a door unexpectedly opened on a group of pigs. Where a moment before the room had been filled with the sound of grunts, squeals, and squeaks, the author and his wife were greeted by an expectant silence as sixty healthy-looking pigs turned toward the door, sat down on their behinds—and coughed. The surprisingly human sound of sixty coughing pigs has stayed with us to this day. For the purposes of this book, the sound is doubly significant because these coughing pigs had not received any antibiotics. Instead, they were part of an experiment by the pig farmer, who was giving us an impromptu two-hour tour of the farm’s facilities.Having heard of my research, the farmer insisted that I get an inside look at how conventional agriculture really works. The family farm specializes in fat-tening piglets and selling them for slaughter. While its capacity of 4,000 pigs is small compared to US concentrated animal feeding operations, the farm we were touring is a fairly typical example of pig production in northern Europe.
