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.

 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.

That might explain why I've never been a fan of pork.  If it's up to me, the only pork cooked here is occasional pulled pork sandwiches, low and slow in a crock pot.  I can't say I've ever tasted a pork chop that I enjoyed.
