You bet they are! They had an article in Countryside about someone raising them for meat awhile back I believe.
In Phx, the Mexican fellas would buy them all the time. They were going through the sale for $5 each! This was after they had gotten popular for pets....I assume folks got tired of them once they got to be 100-200 lbs.
Like Tango said, they are a fattier type of pig, but still certainly edible!
Heck, if you are near a bigger city, I would find out if they come through the sale ring cheap or not.
