The world eats cheap bacon at the expense of North Carolina’s rural poor — Quartz

"Neighbors battle pig farms and their stinky manure-filled lagoons in North Carolina." Wondering if the North Carolina folks can weigh in on what it's like to live near a hog farm. @MargaretG @olivettefarm. I'm so surprised that WH finds it cheaper to produce bacon / pork in NC than in China! And I'm also shocked that there aren't any good studies that look into health impacts of hog lagoons in a community.
