So respond with comments about how you give your animals a much better life than many meat animals receive. You need to be passionate about your choices--not just in your own mind, but when you speak with your acquaintances. Don't jsut say, "I am thinking about raising pigs for their pork" but talk about the healthier feed and lifestyle you can give them. Refer to yourself as an urban/suburban farmer or rancher. Talk about the superior quality of your products; the types of concerns you have about readily available commercial products. Become a gentle advocate.
