There is now information about pork which labels it a more healthy choice as opposed to the bad rap it got for so long.
From the Pork and Health Website:
"Many cuts of pork are as lean or leaner than chicken and meet the government guidelines for “lean” or “extra lean.” Any cuts from the loin - like pork chops and pork roast - are leaner than skinless chicken thigh, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data. Pork steaks or roasts from the leg ("fresh ham") are also lean choices."
And there is more; pork is filled with nutritious vitamins and minerals. Below is more info from the Pork and Health Website.
" The following information is based on a 3-ounce serving of pork."
"Thiamin 54% Without this key vitamin, metabolism of carbohydrate, protein and fat would be significantly compromised. Animal protein is one of lthe best sources of this nutrient and among the choices, pork is tops."
So, if you are like myself and love the flavor of pork, you can enjoy it without so much guilt for a change.
Perhaps, I should start an "I love Pork" Blog! Enjoy!
