Etymology
豚 combines ⺼ (flesh/meat) with 豕 (pig), straightforwardly representing a pig as a meat animal.
Meaning mnemonic
The left side ⺼ is flesh, and the right side 豕 is a pig. Together they show a pig raised for its meat: pork.
Reading mnemonic
For トン, imagine a heavy pig weighing a ton: ton -> トン, and that pig provides plenty of pork.
