I am not a bleeding heart, nor a member of PETA, however when I first heard of this on Dr. Oz and did a bit of reading on this I decided I didn't want to eat it in my pork. You can each make your own decisions, its your body.
My meats are frozen solid when I pick them up on Sat morning and I get there around 9:00 and they are in my freezer by 9:30. To defrost I simply soak in cold water as the bags are sealed. So easy.
To each their own.
