Americans eat more pork than any other people and USDA studies show strong justification. Despite 6 percent of world population, the U S houses about 20 percent of the world’s swine and slaughtered 42.5 million in 1926, up over two million from the prior year. Pork’s nutritive value and calories per pound support its role in both labor and sedentary diets, aiding growth and vitamin B intake while lowering pork costs.
