    According to Reuters, the beef and pork industry are renaming things to decrease customer confusion.

    Pork Butts will now be Boston Roast
    Pork Chops will now be Porterhouse Chops, Rib Eye Chops or New York Chops
    boneless shoulder top blade steak will become a flatiron steak
    beef under blade boneless steak will become a Denver Steak

    And go see Alton Brown's twitter feed for his commentary.
    Here's just a couple of the zingers:

    And Pork "Country Ribs" will be called "Silly strips actually cut from the butt but called ribs"

    interesting, this might be a problem for the folks who buy their meat from tyson or smithfield in cryovac or styrofoam tray form.

    Pretty sure the cats I go to will still give me pork butts when I refer to them as such. :D

    My guess is that the newly named cuts will be more expensive than the they were before the rename.
