Are poultry and seafood the only white meats, with everything else being red meat?

according to the USDA or anywhere else? I know they say pork is the "other white meat", but they're trying to sell me something - its a campaign thing.

Um... I don't fear the USDA, what are you talking about? I just would like to know what the regulations say, some type of nutritional categorization. Not just what it looks like or what the pork producers call it for their commercials.


Answers:

I don't know what the "rules" are, but duck and emu, which are poultry, are dark. And veal can be as white as pork.
I think "red meat" means mammals. But rabbit is white.
While a pork loin is white, ham and bacon - equally as porky - are red.
As for one of the previous answers, beans and nuts are definately vegetation. Unless the nuts are form a bull.
