With over 30,000 products in the average grocery store, addressing myths around food products is a growing area of interest for grocery shoppers. Your members will have the opportunity to hear from an active farmer, animal nutritionist, or livestock veterinarian who will provide a look into farms across America, address animal care on those farms, and provide pork cooking tips. They will enjoy 2 videos. One features a look into 3 commercial pork barns giving viewers a chance to see what goes on inside a modern barn. The other features award-winning actor and former pig farmer, Eric Stonestreet, examining 21st-century pork production.
