Answer 1

It is the other white meat. And baby is the other, other white meat.

Answer 2

Pork is considered a red meat. In the mid 80's, when health-conscience consumers
decided that red meat was unhealthy, the pork industry lost sales dramatically.
In an effort to regain lost ground, the Pork Council started a catchy and
attractive campaign ("The other white meat") in 1987. The campaign worked--
the demand for pork quickly rose. In fact, today's pork prices rise at a rate
faster than the cost of living inflation. During the shift of perception,
though, people began to refer to it as a white meat rather than a red meat

Answer 4

Pork is generally considered to be a red meat. Game birds, fowl and fish are considered white meats (though there are red or dark varieties of all of them).

It is purely a convention.

If your real question was, what is unclean about pork, it is because pigs eat almost anything and appear to be dirty animals (they are not really, but that is beside the point). They can also harbour many diseases and parasites which can be transmitted to humans, whereas cattle and sheep and goats are not so likely to. This is why pork is considered unclean by Jews and Muslims, amongst other religions.

Answer 5

Why is Pork a "Red" Meat?
Oxygen is delivered to muscles by the red cells in the blood. One of the proteins in meat, myoglobin, holds the oxygen in the muscle. The amount of myoglobin in animal muscles determines the color of meat. Pork is classified a "red" meat because it contains more myoglobin than chicken or fish. When fresh pork is cooked, it becomes lighter in color, but it is still a red meat. Pork is classed as "livestock" along with veal, lamb and beef. All livestock are considered "red meat."
