The Other White Meat

Eric always talks about pork as white meat, and I always correct him and say that pork's reputation as "the other white meat" comes from a successful marketing campaign & that red meat comes from mammals vs white meat comes from fowl, but this article says it's a lot more complicated than that. Really we should all just be eating matzo ball soup and non-carnivorous fish.

  1. Now I have a shaky sense of the meat hierarchy. I wish they'd stop comparing everything to skin-on chicken legs-- Take the skin off! We get it.

    Let's go vegetarian except when we go to Rose Tea cafe (or lamb vindaloo...yummmm)
