Low quality is typically achieved by industrialised farming with the goal of raising the animals as quickly as possible, the criterion for “ready for slaughter” being just the weight. This leads to meat which contains a large amount of water, which will come out the moment you cook it, leaving you with a whole lot less meat once you’re done. Taste wise it tends to be underwhelming, too. Low quality pork from pigs fed with a disproportionate amount of fishmeal can even have a distinctly fishy taste.
