See here:

"Its myoglobin content is lower than that of beef, but much higher than that 
of chicken. The USDA treats pork as a red meat.[16] Pork is very high in 
thiamin (vitamin B1).[17] Pork with its fat trimmed is leaner than the meat 
of most domesticated animals, but is still high in cholesterol and saturated 
fat.
"In 1987 the U.S. National Pork Board began an advertising campaign to 
position pork as "the other white meat" - due to a public perception of 
chicken and turkey (white meat) as healthier than red meat. (Pork is in fact 
red meat.) The campaign was highly successful and resulted in 87% of 
consumers identifying pork with the slogan. As of 2005, the slogan is still 
used in marketing pork, with some variations.[18]"

This is the "Nutrition" section taken from here:

I guess that lots of pork was spread around to deceive meat eaters !
