I am quite sure I didn't know what products were made from pork or beef when I was a kid (not that my parents would ever allow a kid to dictate what the parents were allowed to eat).
And as far as being unhealthy, I am not sure I would count cheeseburgers, fries, grilled cheese as health food. I don't think in moderation pork is unhealthy at all---it is the other white meat.
