Children’s shoes, let me answer your question, Yuzi. Please score more points after answering. Pigs are generally castrated in order to be fattened. The sows kept for breeding have a long growth period and the meat quality is extremely poor. It is not that they cannot be eaten, but the meat is too old and tastes unpalatable no matter how it is cooked.
I believe that when the supply was extremely difficult in the past, the old sow pork that was eliminated was also a hot commodity.
The reason why old sow pork is banned from being put on the market is to protect the rights and interests of consumers, not because it is toxic.
Similarly, the same is true for cows and ewes. The meat of old cows and ewes reserved for breeding will not be delicious. In the past, farmers had to work hard to raise cows and give birth to calves. When they were eliminated, they were sent to be slaughtered and sold on the market. The beef at that time was very old, but there was no problem with eating it.
