Michael Shay's Bounty of Oregon Series

Figuring out what's healthy to eat is continually challenging particularly if you are a meat eater. Pork has become a go-to choice for it's price, leanness and flavor. The question is what kind of pork? 

Organic, natural, grass fed or grazed - all these terms can be really confusing. So when Cory Nickels and I began working on another image for the Bounty of Oregon series we chose a couple of beautiful pork chops to showcase Oregon's pork.

The package simply read,
"...pigs raised humanely on family farms, and fed an all-vegetarian diet as nature intended. This results in pork that is tender and flavorful — the way pork should taste.
No antibiotics — ever.
No added hormones — ever.
No preservatives.
No artificial colors or flavors — ever.
Always 100% vegetarian-fed."

That all sounded pretty good!

As my German ancestors would say, who always loved pork, “Mahlzeit!”
