Commercial restaurant pork is included as a pork product in the most broadly consumed
meat across the globe. Commercial restaurant pork is in the list of pork products
that provide an approximate 38 percent of daily meat protein intake all over the
world. Menus that depend on commercial restaurant pork and a variety of fresh pork
cuts and cured pork vary nationally and regionally. It is interesting to note this
fact about commercial restaurant pork and other pork products in view of that fact
that eating commercial restaurant pork and retail pork is inhibited by religious
restrictions. Statistics reveal that both meat-market share and commercial restaurant
pork and retail pork consumption has continued to go up for that past thirty years.
Preliminary data from the USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service for the year 2006
show that close to 100 million metric tons of commercial restaurant pork and retail
pork were consumed in various locations around the world. In China, as more citizens
choose to reside in the cities and their disposable income increases, the data measures
a 20 percent elevation in use of commercial restaurant pork and retail pork products
since 2002. Chinese commercial restaurant pork and retail pork product consumption
is projected to increase another 5 percent this year (2007).
Commercial restaurant pork and retail cuts of pork have changed over time due to
the rise in demand and resulting need for mass-production. Prior to the 20th Century,
commercial restaurant pork and retail pork products were not in such huge demand
and therefore pigs were raised in lesser numbers. Gastronomically speaking, commercial
restaurant pork and retail pork products have been traditionally classified as a
white meat. Nutritionally however, retail pork products and commercial restaurant
pork are grouped together with beef as "red meat". This has caused public perceptions
of commercial restaurant pork and retail pork products to undergo significant reevaluation.
The U.S. National Pork Board in 1987, began a huge advertising campaign to nominate
commercial restaurant pork and retail pork products as "the other white meat". Please
