A member asked:
Which is healthier to eat pork or beef?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither: Both are red meats with high fat and cholesterol (despite the lies by the U.S. Pork industry that it's a "white" meat starting in the mid 1980s [i remember the advertising campaign]). If you must eat meats, eat fish and limited poultry.
