From Youtube:

Our film crew goes to Iowa to investigate the ever-increasing role genetic science is playing on the modern pig farm. But once we're there, some of us find out that there are things about pork production that we don't actually want to find out.

This clip comes from Pandora's Box, the season finale of This American Life with Ira Glass. See it now, only on Showtime.

What's so unnatural about a sow delivering piglets? The place actually looked pretty clean, and while the concrete is unnatural its actually there for the health of the food. Wild Pigs aren't known for their natural hygiene, hence why they're often loaded with parasites, the concrete etc helps maintain an easily cleanable more hygienic environment. The biggest problem I see is that they're confined to a tiny pen.
