Then they started to make pork healthier and it didn't taste as good.

 What does that mean?

Several decades ago, pork fat was deemed "unhealthy" so pig farmers started raising leaner pigs.  The meat doesn't taste nearly as good and is one reason people complain about it being so easy to quickly over-cook to the point of being dry.  Of course they also thought pork should be cooked to an extremely high internal temperature (to avoid trichinosis) in order to be "safe".  At one point a long way back that was likely true.  But for the most part the pork farmers f'd up pork. Ask your mother or your grandmother; they'll know.
