The slogan "Pork, the other white meat," was part of an advertising campaign and not truth-based. The campaign was highly successful and resulted in a 30 percent increase in pork consumption. According to the USDA, it is red rather than "white meat." This slogan was replaced by "Pork, be inspired."
