If sex sells, then Argentina’s president is doing her best to give a boost to the pork industry. Of course, it may not have been as much a sales pitch as simply too much information. More:

“Many people in the beef-loving nation reacted with surprise after Cristina Fernandez promoted pork in a speech during which she not only said pork is better than Viagra, but suggested she’s personally proven it.

‘I didn’t know that eating pork improved sexual activity,’ Ms Fernandez said in a meeting with representatives of the swine industry.

‘It is much more gratifying to eat some grilled pork than to take Viagra.’

She even joked that ‘it was all good’ after she enjoyed some pork with her husband, former President Nestor Kirchner.

‘I think they might be right,’ Ms Fernandez said to a laughing audience.

The president’s half-joking speech in which she announced subsidies for the pork industry won prominent play on television and radio stations, prompting discussions on whether Argentinians should add more pork to their diet.”
