Two questions:
I understand pork is generally frowned upon as a good meat. Is this the case for all forms of pork? Are there lean portions of pork that are healthy and good for meals?
Secondly, I was reading in one of the physique clinics. The moderator instructed the guy to eat cashews, salted was okay but roasted was not. What happens to a roasted nut that would make it unacceptable?
Pork is awesome.
A nice bit of pork in cider.

Pork
Pork chops used to be on the doctors�?? hit list. Today, however, pork is �??the other white meat�?? and is a healthy alternative to red meat. And when it�??s eaten in reasonable quantities (8 oz), a pork chop can be quite good for you.
Pork chops can be relatively lean, but they�??re typically not as low-fat as chicken or fish. By contrast, however, a USDA, University of Wisconsin and Maryland study found that a 3 oz (85 g) serving of pork tenderloin contains 0.105 oz (2.98 g) of fat and that the same portion of skinless chicken breast contains 0.106 oz (3.03 g) of fat.
If chops are still your thing, look for lean ones, and trim the fat before you eat them. A typical pork chop, with the fat cut off, contains about 0.3 oz (8 g) of fat. Beware, however, of cured pork, like ham and bacon; both meats may contain nitrates and nitrites as preservatives, which have been linked to cancer.
Happy “porking”
Cashews aren’t actually nuts. They are fruits. That being said, I dunno about not roasting them, but they taste better raw and salted anyway.
I hate pork chops but eat center cut bacon or chorizo sausage for my fat loss eating plan. Not too bad, eh?
