This little piggy... went for a dive?

A farmer in China says he's discovered a technique to make your bacon taste better: Pig diving.

Chinese news agency CCTV reports the farmer says he starts training the pigs this special skill when they are one month old.

The farmer says he makes the pigs dive at least three times a day from this nearly 10-foot high platform into a pond -- some have dived up to 30 times a day.

The farmer says all that exercise makes the pigs leaner, which makes them taste better.

He says it also makes them worth more.

The farmer says he can sell the leaner pigs for nearly three times more money than ordinary pigs.
