Is red meat bad for health? Meta-study of 44 studies finds results depend on the sponsor. If the sponsor is impartial, studies find it's bad. Studies sponsored by the meat industry find the opposite (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)

Nutritionally speaking pork is a red meat. All mammal meat is red meat, non mammal meat is not.

Just checked and you are right. I'm so used to hearing "Pork, the other white meat" that I mis-understood.

Yeah it was very clever marketing on their part. Don't blame you.
