For reals.

it is cosidered as white meat,,,

"In gastronomy, pork is traditionally considered a white meat, but in nutritional studies, it is usually grouped with beef as "red meat", and public perceptions have been changing. Its myoglobin content is lower than beef, but much higher than chicken white meat. The USDA treats pork as a red meat."

The pork industries commercial states, "Pork, The Other White Meat."

I found this on the net............."Pork is considered a red meat. In the mid 80's, when health-conscience consumers decided that red meat was unhealthy, the pork industry lost sales dramatically.
In an effort to regain lost ground, the Pork Council started a catchy and attractive campaign ("The other white meat") in 1987. The campaign worked - the demand for pork quickly rose. In fact, today's pork prices rise at a rate
faster than the cost of living inflation. During the shift of perception, though, people began to refer to it as a white meat rather than a red meat."
