Christien Meindertsma: How pig parts make the world turn (script)
Summary
The speaker was interested in the whole pig would be used up until the last bit so nothing would be wasted. The result of her study was true.
This time, she found 185 products which are made of or used pig. However, we don't know and have a clue of what all these products that surround us are made of and we don't treat these pig well. Further, companies don't want us to know that their products are associated with pigs.
Not only us, but also people who produce those products have to know a little bit more what's behind our products. At least, it'll be important for us to know that they are there.
◆Viewpoints&Discussion
1. Are you careful enough to examine the products you are buying and what they are made of? Why or why not?
No, I don't. It's because I know that many goods are contained with unsafe chemicals to make it cheap and look good. I give up to see, however, I try not to throw away products I bought.
2. After reading this article or hearing the speaker’s talk, are you considering of buying the same products that you are using as mentioned by the speaker? Why or why not?
I think that it's a good thing that pigs are used up until the last. However, I think that other  materials are quite wasted.
3. Do you eat pork? Why or why not?
Yes, because in my country, Japan, eating pork is not banned religiously and I don't have any allergies.
4. Do you think pig meat is unclean? Why or why not?
I don't know. It' because surface their skin might be unclean, though we don't eat it. We don't know what they eat. They might eat something that is unclean food.
5. Do you think it is unhealthy to continuously eat pork? Why or why not?
Yes, I do. It's because I think that currently we eat too much basically, and it'll be healthier to eat vegetable than meat.
