Pork has had quite a varying reputation through the years. In the mid 20th century, most pork had to be cooked well done because of the fear of trichinosis. But today pork is fed and raised differently and the meat is safe to heat when cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. If the juices run very light pink, the pork is done. The phrase 'Pork, The Other White Meat' was introduced in the 1980s. Pigs don't move around as much as cattle do, so the muscles don't have to work as hard and don't use as much oxygen. Less oxygen means less myoglobin, the red colored molecule, so the meat is a lighter color. Today's pork has been bred to be 31% leaner than the pork we ate in 1983. And, pound for pound, it has more nutrients than chicken. Of course, with a lower fat content, it's more difficult to cook pork so it's safe to eat, yet stays tender and juicy. There are five main cuts of pork:
