When Mr Pork himself, Stewart White, emailed me the following story from The Daily Telegraph yesterday the thought crossed my mind that Stewart had planted the story on behalf of his client Australian Pork but no, apparently it is the real deal!
President prefers pork over Viagra
ARGENTINA'S President has recommended pork as an alternative to Viagra, saying she spent a satisfying weekend with her husband after eating barbecued pig meat.
"I've just been told something I didn't know; that eating pork improves your sex life," President Cristina Fernandez said to leaders of the pig farming industry.
"I'd say it's a lot nicer to eat a bit of grilled pork than take Viagra."
She said she recently ate pork and "things went very well that weekend, so it could well be true".
Argentines are the world's biggest per capita consumers of beef, but the government has sought to promote pork as an alternative in recent years due to rising steak prices and as a way to diversify the meat industry.
"Trying it doesn't cost anything, so let's give it a go," Ms Fernandez said in the televised speech.
So there you go, the answer to a lacklustre love life is pork. Mmmm, bacon...
On the subject of pork, Australian Pork announced last week that they'll be sponsoring the new Food Blog category in this year's Australian Food Media Awards, put on by the Australian Association of Food Professionals (formerly Food Media Club Australia). Good to see bloggers finally being recognised as having an important and credible voice.
