I thought we were talking about which animals were white vs. red.

But this is where that article fails miserably. It does not define
red vs. white meat, and especially whether only the breast of
chicken or the whole chicken is white meat. Or if the shoulder of
pork is red vs the white of the large end of loin. there are
several definitions of white vs red. Pork is considered by most as
white meat regardless of where on the pig it came from. Mainly
because of their marketing. 30 years ago there was no question it
was red meat.
