The Surprising Bottom Line
The great pork debate has a simple scientific answer:
Pork is red meat.
Yet thanks to one brilliant advertising campaign, millions still think of it as white meat.
It’s a fascinating reminder that marketing can sometimes shape public perception just as powerfully as science itself.
So the next time someone asks:
“Is pork red meat or white meat?”
You can confidently answer:
Scientifically, it’s red meat.
But one of the greatest marketing campaigns ever made many people believe otherwise.
