Also Wednesday, Beijing police raided a village where live pigs were
force-fed wastewater to boost their weight before slaughter, state
media reported.
Plastic pipes had been forced down the pigs' throats and villagers had
pumped each 220-pound pig with 44 pounds of wastewater, the Beijing
Morning Post reported Thursday.
This is physiological nonsense. Has anyone ever seen watery fresh
meat or denser than normal meat (low water content)? While the
weight of a live pig may be increased by force feeding with water the
carcass weight remains that of fresh meat. The excess water in the
stomach does not all get absorbed by the gut and every organ maintains
its normal ideal composition. The excess water is quickly got rid of
through the bowels or through urine. If one is in the pork
processing business weight mainpulation with forced feed water will be
obvious and the farmer or supplier who resorts to such primitive
cheating will be outed pretty quickly.
