Pork better for sex than Viagra?



This is awesome. Found this article on the 'net, and just had to share.

– Eating pork is at least as effective as popping a Viagra pill to spice up your sex life, according to … .Thu Jan 28, 12:45 pm ET
BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) – Argentina's president recommended pork as an alternative to Viagra Wednesday, saying she spent a satisfying weekend with her husband after eating barbecued pork.

"I've just been told something I didn't know; that eating pork improves your sex life ... I'd say it's a lot nicer to eat a bit of grilled pork than take Viagra," President Cristina Fernandez said to leaders of the pig farming industry.

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," Fernandez said in the televised speech.

Is that not a great article? When I showed it to Karen, she asked, "Why can't we have a president like that?" Indeed. Who wouldn't take such advice from President Fernandez? She looks very authoritative on the subject, doesn't she? Our pork sales are going very well, but with this type of endorsement, I may need to double my herd size! Thank you, Madame Presidente!

Ok- I need to clarify. I do not have enough of a handle on Argentinian politics or President Fernandez' views to provide an endorsement. But I agree that BBQ is worth a shot.
