Is pork considered red meat?

I'm trying to cut down on red meat. Never been a fan of pork, but will give it a try if it's healthier. Also, if anyone has a great pork recipe, please post. Went to Emirel Lagasee's Nola restaurant in New Orleans and had the glazed pork chop. Outstanding flavor and tenderness.
Thanks,
Ed

 

Yes. It's red meat.

"So to end the long standing debate, pork is and always has been red meat.
The only real reason it was ever considered white meat is because the pork
council decided back in the 80s that the term "red meat" had a bad stigma
attached to it, and it was affecting sales. So they tried to cash in on the health
food craze and it worked, sales went up."

"Its myoglobin content is lower than that of beef, but much higher than that of chicken.
The USDA treats pork as a red meat.[16] Pork is very high in thiamin.[17] Pork with its
fat trimmed is leaner than the meat of most domesticated animals, but is still high in
cholesterol and saturated fat."

I've seen advertisements referring to pork as "the other white meat", but based on previous posts that seems to be a load of baloney.

 

yes

 

Think of it this way: That plate of pork chops slathered w/gravy is just as much of a 'heart attack on a plate' as that big fat juicy steak you almost chose for dinner.

So, does it really matter if it's 'red' or not??

 

Pork=crap

 

Really?

Ever had baby back ribs?
