Whelp... I found out that Pigs are Herbivores that are omnivorous opportunists.

That certainly explains why pigs are so willing to eat meat but horses won't.

[Darvi]

You jerk.

? Also, that one scene from Snatch.

...Won't that just make them omnivores?

That's what I figured as well.

Pigs are omnivores, which means that they consume both plants and animals. In the wild, they are foraging animals, primarily eating leaves, grasses, roots, fruits and flowers. In confinement[where?] pigs are fed mostly corn and soybean meal[citation needed] with a mixture of vitamins and minerals added to the diet. Because pigs are omnivores they make excellent pasture raised animals.[8] Traditionally they were raised on dairy farms and called "mortgage lifters" due to their ability to use the excess milk as well as whey from cheese and butter making combined with pasture.[9] Older pigs will consume three to five gallons of water per day.[10]

Seems to be so, yes. I think they just eat plants because plants don't run.

I suppose the difference is, in my guess, pigs don't actually hunt down other animals to eat them though they might eat an already dead animal if they come across it.

[GiglameshDespair]

So kind of like most people, really. We don't hunt our food down, we get it pre-deaded at the shop.

[Helgoland]

Less hunting, more gathering!

[TD1]

The day I no longer eat copious amounts of animal is the day I die.

[Descan]

What about non-animal meat?

[TD1]

...

As far as I know there is no such thing as non-animal meat?

Unless there are flesh plants or something

[TD1]

I haven't seen it.

Nor do I ever intend to, by all Gods nonexistent or real.

[Iceblaster]

I make a sammich in the microwave on a plate.

I start putting in numbers.

"Did I forget the plate?!"

Check microwave for plate.

Continue as normal.

[Descan]

In-vitro meat.
