Healing mid-battle has always been a bit of a quirk for me in videogames as I would rather health loss be a penalty for poor awareness and poor positioning (awareness and positioning are primary concerns in the minecraft world). Healing, however, I have always seen as an out-of-battle-success reward, that if you survive the fight and come out on top you would have the requisite endurance and willpower to recover yourself.
Not only that but this is a game about survival in a harsh and unforgiving environment... way I see it relying on hunting for pigs is the way of a nomad, a drifter with no set home. It's the thinking survivalist that sets about to making a farm for his home... besides, (even though I know that this is not a possibility at all in the minecraft world) who is to say the pigs won't migrate to another place and leave my area? If I were a nomad that would mean going where they go, and I'm not going to let some brainless wandering pig force me into going anywhere.
OT:
I like cake for one reason.
I have a cake behind glass in my home with a sign above it. Can you guess what that sign says? Ohoho, slow down little one, I'll tell you. It says, "Break glass in case of creeper invasion." And that my little munchkin, is why we have one big toilet that we all have to go on at the same time these days.
(Not even I understand what I just wrote.)

There is always a lot of it, it heals 4 hearts fully cooked and is obtainable from a peaceful mob. So no fights over the pigs food!
