The Other White Meat

[daicoses]

What does this phrase mean?

[Ouisch]

Traditionally, white meat referred to poultry, specifically chicken and turkey.  But pork has many of  the same health benefits of poultry white meat (low fat, etc) and has taken up the mantra "the other white meat."

But then, until recently pigs were the most drugged up animals in the system. Now it's chickens. Me, I prefer my comparatively drug-free lamb and beef.
