the other white meat

Etymology

From a slogan used by the National Pork Board to promote the sale of pork in the United States in the 1980s. Although some cuts are lighter, pork is typically classified as red meat. The horror sense emerged from the use of long pork as a euphemism for human meat (this coinage being based on its reputedly pork-like taste).
