It must depend on where you get your park. I get great tasting pork
from a local butcher. He trims a lot of fat off the pork. His bacon is
lean compared to what I see in supermarkets, and even lean bacon is at
least half fat. One thing to consider is the surface fat vs. that within
the meat. Lamb has fat around the outside but very little fat within the
flesh. Some cuts of beef and pork are quite lean while others have a lot
of fat in them.
