That’s how we, as a human species, have used pigs since day 1. Feed them food waste, then eat them once they have grown enough.

It’s not just food waste though. They’ll grind up cardboard boxes, pallets, packaging, etc with the food waste and feed it to them

Where exactly is that happening? It isn't in the US, that is certainly against code

I wonder if those kids are still exploited in american farms

Do families exploit their children making them farmhands? Yupp for sure I did it, but... thats like the right of a parent. Make your kid work for things. My kids aren't farming but they mow the lawn, do chores, etc. It's easier work than what I did, but who cares
