To burn it off
A pork chop is a straightforward bit of meat: protein and fat, nothing else. That's why it keeps you full for a good while.
One chop is 280 kcal, with 32 g of protein and 16 g of fat. Most of that fat is the strip round the edge, the bit people either fight over or leave behind.
The chop itself is rarely the issue. It's the apple sauce, the mash and the gravy that turn it into a proper meal.
Tips
Where it comes from
Every pork chop goes back to the wild boar, which people tamed more than once. In China the first domestic pigs date to about 10,000 years ago, with an unbroken line to today's breeds. Pigs were also domesticated in the Near East, and Europe's first pigs came from there, though they were later replaced by pigs bred from local wild boar.
