Ounce for ounce, white turkey breast meat trumps dark meat, calorically speaking. Per 3 ounces, opting for white meat over dark will save you 45 calories and 6 grams of saturated fat: 115 calories and 0 grams of saturated fat versus 160 calories and 2 grams of saturated fat, respectively. Both white and dark meat are a good source of protein, offering 26 and 24 grams per serving, respectively. Dark meat does, however, have at least one nutritional advantage over white meat—it delivers more iron (11% of the daily value, compared to 7% in turkey breast).

No, that’s not it! It’s racism, I tell you! Racism!
That article is insane!
White meat has no fat, and thus isn’t even legitimate food.
Lack of animal fats in the diet leads to type 2 diabetes rather quickly. Forming cell membranes with vegetable fats makes them literally water-proof, so the glucose can’t get in to be burned and remains in the blood to be deposited as fat in the abdominal areas.
