Pork is the most commonly eaten meat in the world. Though it comes from a pig, it is known as the other white meat because it is not chicken. It is condemned by the Bible as explained below.
Biblical Reference
Leviticus 11.4: And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven-footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
Government Budgets
In government, the term "pork", or "pork spending", is used to refer to often unnecessary spending on a particular Congressman's pet project(s) in his home district. Though the practice is roundly criticized by many politicians and nearly all ordinary citizens, pork spending has steadily increased over the years (See Robert Byrd).
