The Daily Herald links often come and go, but it was working for me, just now.

Many animals eat garbage to survive… including humans. I don’t have a problem with this pork and it is on the same safe consumption as GMO’s, Bird flu infections and all the other foods we eat. Locals are eating this and they probably have a better gut for it than kale eating vegans. When food inflation hits SXM these food sources with be survival food for the poor. That's is why we have food inspections to make sure food is safe to eat rather than just roll the dice on it. These just go straight to the wheel barrel with flies to the consumer. Not good.

Very sad to see the deplorable conditions these creatures are raised in. As several posters have stated, pigs must have sufficient water - an ample supply at all times - to survive. However, i have to make a couple of comments.
Most of us would never eat chicken or pork or beef again in our own countries if we saw some of the treatment these creatures receive on supposedly legitimate farms.
Also I think the fact that reputable restaurants are required to use properly inspected meat but the locals are probably forced to buy this type of product just underscores the difference between those of us who enjoy SXM on our vacations and the people who live on the island permanently. The "haves" and the "have nots" in many cases. SXM is a beautiful island if you are there for a vacation, probably not so beautiful when you live there in a low-paying job.
And your concern is whether or not you'll eat ribs there again.
Too, this situation is not limited to SXM. I have seen some deplorable food handling on a number of other islands, food meant for the locals. Great places for a vacation, not so great to live in.

We will be on the island in 2 weeks. We love having ribs on the island, especially the lolos. Now I’m not sure. Should we be concerned about eating ribs at the lolos? I am feeling very anxious about this. I wish i knew which establishments are buying the ribs from the mentioned place in the link. How is this political? I just want to be safe on the island and not getting sick.
