Pork or Chicken?
How things can change, thanks to pig farmers efforts:
Pork recently took the lead over its main competitor, chicken, in the battle to be the leanest white meat. An analysis by the U.S. Department of Agriculture showed that a 3-ounce piece of pork tenderloin had 2.98 grams of fat while a 3-ounce skinless chicken breast contained 3.03 grams of fat... The race to make pork as healthy as chicken began 25 years ago when the industry realized that Americans wanted healthier, low-fat meat options. Leaner hogs brought a better price, so the industry had an incentive to breed pigs with less fat.
