Answer 4

Pork is a white meat, but it certainly isn't a healthy meat to consume. I don't know the reason it is white, but I do know that if one puts pork under the microscope, that it will be found to be swarming with parasites, which is the reason the U.S.D.A. recommends cooking pork well done, that way you'll be eating dead parasites instead of live ones, which can hurt you. Personally, I choose not not eat pork because of the health hazards it proposes.
