Danish Crown

I am out in the country in Horsens, Denmark. We visited Danish Crown's pig slaughter house. We got to see those little piggies' lives from squealing in the pen to being packaged in a box for the grocery store. Anyone in the mood for a little bacon or ham? ...Or perhaps pig tongue, kidneys and ears because you can buy those parts of the pigs I saw today in China and even parts of Europe. The slaughterhouse we were at is the second largest in the world, ships internationally and has the best technology of any. 



We just got back from a little night bowling in the town here and had a great buffet meal at the bowling alley. Tomorrow we are visiting Arla Foods, the biggest dairy producer in Denmark. Then we go to an economics lecture at the university in Aarhus. Our day finishes at Suzlon, the fifth largest alternative energy company in the world. It'll be a long day starting at 7 AM but I'm excited to see the companies! Hopefully they won't cause my stomach to churn quite so much.
