Before reading this, you might want to think twice about biting into that bacon.
Just a few months ago, the story broke about a shocking undercover video filmed inside a Minnesota pig slaughterhouse. It generated national and international headlines as the scenes depicted in the video seemed more appropriate for Upton Sinclair's The Jungle than a 2015 investigative exposé.
