Actually not a WM thing it's Albertsons, Safeway (Vons), Kroger (Ralphs)
and most other super markets. Next time you pick up a package of pork look
at the ingredients list on the package. Swifts and most of the other pork
processors are now adding moisture & salt (Brine) as part of the "Other
White Meat" marketing revolution. The diet of commercial pork has been
changed over the years to produce a leaner animal. The leaner animals are
purportedly "healthier" but IMHO flavorless. The other White meat is like
eating compressed cardboard.

BTW I never buy meat at WM their prices are HIGH!
