YSK that pork is *not* "the other white meat." That was a marketing campaign by the pork lobby that can have dangerous consequences for some people.
History:
>**"Pork. The Other White Meat."** was an advertising slogan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advertising_slogan eveloped by advertising agency Bozell, Jacobs, Kenyon & Eckhardt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bozell n 1987 for the National Pork Board https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Pork_Board. The campaign was paid for using a checkoff https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodity_checkoff_program ee (tax) collected from the initial sale of all pigs and pork products, including imports. Medical researchers and the United States Department of Agriculture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Agriculture classify pork as red meat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_meat.

Why YSK:
There is a food allergy named 'Alpha-gal syndrome h https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/alpha-gal-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20428608 that can cause life-threatening allergic reactions to red meats in affected persons. When someone tells you they "cannot eat" red meat, pork is not a substitute. Using in in dishes thinking it is not a red meat can have disastrous consequences.
Personal anecdote:
My soon-to-be ex-spouse and I fought over this when preparing dinner for guests one night. She knew a guest not only didn't eat red meat, she knew the guest has Alpha-gal. With that in mind, she bought pork, and planned to make the guest dish using the pork. She swore up and down that pork was a white meat, and when presented with proof, called me an asshole for ruining her dinner menu.
Several of the guests were also unaware that the pork lobby had lied to them, and had them thinking that the color of cooked pork meant it was a "white meat."
