How would you interpret this saying?
When people say pigs are good for nothing but food, what do they really mean?
Do they mean that pigs are only good for being human’s food?
Or do they mean that pigs are only good for eating?

Question

Answer

I am not familiar with this saying.  However, my impression is that it means that the only use for pigs is for human food, i.e. the only reason they are useful is so that humans can eat them. Hope this helps

Answer

Thank you, Mikkel.

Answer

Like Bill Day, I am not familiar with that saying. I agree with his interpretation.
