The other white meat: Pork
Categories: Nutrition & Supplements
Are you a pork fan? I wouldn't say that I am, aside from the occasional cut of pork tenderloin or maybe if I'm feeling naughty, some bacon. But the folks at Glee Magazine think I should give it another chance. Their reasoning? It's a (usually) lean source of protein, it's got iron and vitamins B1 and B12, it's typically low in sodium and it's far less fatty than some other meats, such as beef. Lean pork can be substituted into many of your favorite meals for a healthier alternative. Such as? How about Pork Lasagna or pork tacos?
It's a good idea to buy organic when it comes to any sort of meat to avoid the nasty hormones that many cuts of meat have in them.

Great to hear that it's actually pretty good for you!
I think a lot of the problems are with the fatty salty preserved stuff like sausage and bacon. Lean cuts like pork tenderloin aren't bad at all.
Unfortunately, I like barbecued pork ribs best, roasted over carcinogenic flames and glistening with fatty perfection.
Oh well.
