Meat Fat
Health-conscious individuals often shun pork because of its high fat and cholesterol content. Nowadays, improved breeding of pigs and better feeds have produced leaner and healthier pork. Fat, of course, cannot be totally eliminated and it does increase the palatability of meat. To lessen the fat and cholesterol in pork, simply trim off all visible fats. Some people believe that pork is even healthier than beef because its fat is accessible and can easily be discarded. Beef fat is marbled with the lean meat, making it difficult to trim off. Another way to lower fat content is to cook pork in ways that will eliminate the addition of oil or butter, such as boiling, grilling, or roasting. But if you really want something fried, then pan-fry in very little oil instead of deep frying. The meat absorbs less oil this way. You can also use oils that are lower in saturated fats such as corn oil, peanut oil, canola oil, or soybean oil.
