I'm thinking that this doofus doesn't know the difference between cured
(pork) products and fresh pork.

Just like most rfc'ers don't know the difference betweem cured ham and
fresh ham... it's obvious that perhaps no more than two out of a
hundred have ever eaten fresh ham let alone heard of it.

I think a nice grilled pork tenderloin is a healthy meat. Fresh pork in
all forms would be. Where in the hell does "causes hypertension" come in
to this again....?

Actually pretty common to find uncured ham in the market. It tastes like
a pork roast. I know you don't get out much so maybe thats why you
think no one knows about them.

The dwarf is lying again... fresh ham is actually inexpensive, here in
NY it sells for like $1.20-$1.50/lb, but isn't sold for most of the
year except for X-Mas and Easter... unlike turkey fresh ham doesn't
freeze well. In the US most hams are cured, fresh ham has a short
shelf life. When I want fresh ham for a holiday meal I have to tell
the butcher to save me one as they don't get too many and usually they
sell fast. And no other pork cut tastes like fresh ham... fresh ham
is the king of all meats.

Yield of lean meat is about the same.

My brother attended UT-Austin as a graduate student. He got his PhD from
there. He also met his wife there. I have no opinion of it all but I guess
it worked for him.

Agree 100%. Only pork shoulder contains fat any more.

Our former football field is now a soccer field. Same grandstand, less
tackling.

Not even that has much fat. Trust me, I just braised a 2 lb chunk
today.

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.

I don't think you're ever going to find completely lean American style
bacon and that wasn't under discussion anyway. As far as exterior and
interior fat on ordinary cuts of meat, you just don't see meat with
much exterior fat anymore - that part is usually trimmed off, even
from the meat that you'd want some left on like prime rib. My hunk of
pork shoulder had no visible fat. After it had braised, there wasn't
more than a teaspoon of fat floating in the liquid and the meat was
too dry for me. Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with leftover
citrus braised pork.

Shove it up the dwarf's ignorant lying ass as a citrusy deodorant.
That you bought only a two pound hunk you have no way to know what cut
you bought. Pork shoulder has lots of exterior and interior fat.

http://www.askthemeatman.com/pork_sh..._butt_cuts.htm

I prepare whole pork shoulder all the time, it's a very economical cut
and it's never short on fat. This is the best way to prepare pork
shoulder:

Two pounds, that's not enough worth dirtying a pot. And no one who
cooks braises pork shoulder, that's a cut that's oven roasted
(pernil).
