I recently read an article about the difference between our domesticated
animals and their wild ancestors. It told that 50 years ago pigs had
more fat than wild boar, but modern pigs actually have less fat than
wild boar.
I guess the 3.33% you mention is not for the whole carcass,
but for a rather low fat cut.
