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

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.

 I thought that it was interesting to hear my niece's comment about Estonian pork was more like thee pork we used to get in Ontario. I didn't think that she was old enough to remember how good it used to be because she was born in 1962  and would have been pretty young when they traded flavour for health. Then there is the issue of her mother's cooking, and nothing that woman cooked tasted good.
 

I'm surprised Big Niece would have noticed anything about pork she shoved into her maw, after grabbing off someone's plate.
