It's not illegal to feed pigs your OWN kitchen waste. It IS illegal to feed them kitchen waste from other sources without boiling it first.

Here's the LAW from 1980:

http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2002-title9-vol1/pdf/CFR-2002-title9-vol1-chapI-subchapL.pdf

The important bit is this:

"except that such term shall not
include waste from ordinary household
operations which is fed directly to
swine on the same premises where such
household is located."

You can feed your own kitchen waste to your hogs, but you CANNOT feed your neighbors kitchen waste to your hogs. You can buy expired food product from the grocery and feed them to your hogs BUT ONLY IF THEY ARE STILL PACKAGED FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. Any other waste, you will have to cook/boil according to the guidelines laid out in that federal law (SHPA).
