Not uninteresting, but rather simplistic given the sweep of the subject.
The idea that beef and lamb replaced pork as the favored meat is not a new
one, though the shift begins to appear before the Plague in fact. The
article also seems to focus very much on the late Middle Ages. Finally, it's hard
to tell from the summary, but I get the impression it's based on textual
evidence, which is only part of the picture.
For anyone who wants a broad archeological view going across more of the
period, this is a particularly good article:
