It looks so plastic to me. I think because we’ve all been deceived into thinking fat’s bad for us that they trim it all off. It looks so plastic to me.

I don't eat pork though, but I guess my reasoning was, as to why I thought the left one was pasture raised, was because it appeared to be less fatty than the one on the right, indicating to me that it may have received more exercise, then would be the case in a confined space. Although in retrospect I guess the orange color is a bit abnormal looking. Thanks for answering though, I was really curious. Wow, guess I was way off then.

Eating raw vegan-style foods had me giving up butter and sprinkling lemon juice over everything. I'm so happy to find out that yummy butter is okay on my broccoli, and now I'll have to learn how to make my own. I'm finally getting interested in learning how to cook. Thanks for the link, Sharon. I haven't yet heard of cultured butter. That does sound heavenly. Eating raw vegan-style foods had me giving up butter and sprinkling lemon juice over everything.

You can use raw, organic cream for the best flavor. Here, take a look: <a href="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/pacificnw/2009533119_pacificptaste26.html?cmpid=2628" title="The secret to rich homemade butter is in the culturing" rel="nofollow">.

The other one looks orange to me, which reminds me of a vegan turned paleo who wondered why his skin always had an orange tinge. It was from all the beta carotene he'd been consuming. The chop pictured was delicious! Sue, yeah, pretty amazing, huh? I'm amazed by how many farms there are on the east coast. Now I need to hunt down some raw, organic butter.

I expected that there would be a few local farms listed there but I had no idea that I was literally surrounded by so many organic, hormone-free farms within an hour's drive.
