Is White Meat Healthier Than Dark Meat?
Wow, I am really surprised that the NY Times would publish such nonsense. Firstly, dark meat has more than twice the amount of saturated fat than does white meat. Secondly, dark meat has approximately 4mg/oz more of cholesterol than white meat. Doctors recommend that you not eat more than 14g of Saturated Fat or more than 200mg of cholesterol every day. That means that you can healthily eat 8.3oz (7.8oz with skin) of dark meat or 10oz (9.2oz with skin) of white meat for the entire day. Needless to say, this is a LOT less than most people, even those on strict diets, eat on a holiday like thanksgiving. So, sticking with white meat is prudent if you are not being careful with your portion sizes, since you can easily blow past your limit of saturated fat for the day by eating dark meat.
That being said, the author is correct to point out that there is very little difference between eating dark and white meat -- if you eat a portion controlled meal. Otherwise, all bets are off...and eating the white meat is definitely healthier.
Who Knew There Was a Conundrum?
If you want a great hamburger/meatloaf, try using your own food processor to grind up a sirloin steak. Then flavor the meat with a combination of spices from your spice drawer, such as paprika, dried onion flakes, garlic powder, salt, pepper, oregano, etc, and then add ketchup, and bbq sauce, and mix it all up.
