Nutrition experts uniformly classify pork as a red meat, and to say otherwise confuses consumers about the nature of white and red meats." - David Heber, M.D., Ph.D., What Color is Your Diet?

"With widespread lipophobia taking hold of the human population, countless cattle lost their marbling and lean pork was repositioned as "the new white meat"—tasteless and tough as running shoes, perhaps, but now even a pork chop could compete with chicken as a way for eaters to "reduce saturated fat intake." In the years since then, egg producers figured out a clever way to redeem even the disreputable egg: By feeding flaxseed to hens, they could elevate levels of omega-3 fatty acids in the yolks." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

Pig muscles—that is, pork—are similar to beef and lamb in their content of protein, fat and other nutrients. However, the cured pork products, such as ham and bacon, have very high sodium levels and contain other additives, making them foods to be avoided.
