Healthy eating doesn't have to be time-consuming
(NC) - Trying to eat healthy, but don't have a lot of time to spare? Try pork for dinner tonight. Pork tenderloin cooks in less than half an hour, and fast-fry chops are ready in minutes. If you think pork is too 'fatty' - think again. Trimmed fresh pork cuts (with the exception of ribs) have the same or lower fat content than chicken, beef or salmon.
