Honestly, I'm not trying to convert rec.food members to vegetarians,
but I thought this may be interesting (especially the difference
between eating "white meat" and "red meat."


Define "white meat." Is it chicken only, or chicken and pork? There is light
and dark meat pork, on the same half loin. Is it only white meat chicken or
dark meat too?

You're joking, right?

The press release on this major study did not provide explanation as
to different kinds of "white" meat. I am assuming that this study
refers to poultry and pork as white meat -- CNN just added the same
story to their website, and I'll check to see if they got any of the
authors to explain further,

No. Look at the saturaged fat and cholesterol levels for dark meat chicken
and then for pork, they are very similar.

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.
