Of course domesticated pigs get fat from corn. If a pig ate it's natural diet and was living in it's natural setting then it wouldn't store excess fat. Homo sapiens are the only animal to eat cooked starch and the evidence is clear that it has never caused obesity or t2d throughout recorded history. It's only today that it's the scapegoat and people ignore what is consumed alongside it and the fact that oil and dairy fat has increased is ignored. But what is interesting about corn and grain fed pig, chicken, turkey, and cow, is that somehow, all of them are able to extract enough amino acids from the grains. They wouldn't have any muscle tissue otherwise. So there is a balance between some of the energy being stored as fat and some of the amino acids being used to build the muscle.
A factory pig comes from the Eurasian wild boar.
"The wild boar is a highly versatile omnivore, whose diversity in choice of food rivals that of humans.[31] Its foods can be divided into four categories:
• Rhizomes, roots, tubers and bulbs, all of which are dug up throughout the year in the animal's whole range.[3]
• Nuts, berries, and seeds, which are consumed when ripened and are dug up from the snow when abundant.[3]
• Leaves, bark, twigs, and shoots, along with garbage.[3]
• Earthworms, insects, mollusks, fish, rodents, insectivores, bird eggs, lizards, snakes, frogs, and carrion. Most of these prey items are taken in warm periods"
The natural boar looks pretty lean compared to a fat factory pig:
