In times gone by farmers used to "fatten" their porkers much more than they do now. The new trend is to raise lean pigs, better fed, better nutrition, more meat less fat. Their living conditions used to leave a lot to be desired also and therefore the meat often contained germs and bacteria. That's why pork used to need to be cooked well before serving. And so now since its a leaner cleaner meat it is being included in pet foods.
