Breeders produce what they percieve to be in demand, McB.
In the case of pork, pigs were selectively bred to have lower-fat/higher lean characteristics to meet America's obsession. Has this made "the other white meat" truly heart healthy? Deponent sayeth not.
But I sure miss cooking with lard! Nothing else provides quite that flavor element.
It's the same with turkey, which were selectively bred to produce those large, meaty breasts. |
