“On mange avec plaisir et… sans fatigue” – Cochon Prodigue

Cloudfront

Well, here’s an effective way to stop craving for bacon.

This French ad is trying to tell consumers the benefits of free range, referring to food produced from animals that have free access to graze or forage for food without being confined to a cage. Free range pork comes from swine that were born and raised in an unfenced environment and with access to outdoors.

When translated, the caption reads, “We eat with pleasure and … without fatigue.”
However, while raising pigs on pastures improves the quality of their meat, adding real nutrients and flavor, the imagery used in the ad is just too graphic and too wrong. Why raise pigs happy and healthy only to have them self-mutilate?
