Eric,  I agree with most of the content of your post.  However, my question is..... when you bought pork that smelled like manure, what did you do about it?  Did you make the processor aware of the problem?  If you didn't, then you really didn't help address the problem.  The processors need to be aware if there is a quality control problem, and it begins with people like you who notice it.

As for the original poster, I am not sure if he is posting to complain about pork that smells bad, or to complain about large scale animal operations.  If you read the language in his posts, the two issues blur together.
