Cooking
Guide
The Pork Buying &
Cooking Guide, a new con
sumer aid, is now being
distributed by the Pork
Industry Group of the
National Live Stock and
Meat Board.
The guide, developed
through pork industry in
vestment, is a convenient
purse or pocket sized “slide
rule” that quickly computes
the cost per serving for retail
pork cuts. Smart shoppers
know the actual cost of meat
is the cost per serving. For
example, a boneless ham
costmg $2.09 per pound is a
better value than a bone-in
ham costmg $1.49 per pound
because the boneless ham
offers more servings.
Single copies of the Pork
Buying & Cooking Guide
may be obtained by sending
50 cents in coin to the PORK
INDUSTRY GROUP,
