BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Reuters) – Argentine president Cristina Fernandez is recommending pork as an alternative to Viagra, saying she spent a satisfying weekend with her husband after eating pork.
“I’ve just been told something I didn’t know, that eating pork im-proves your sex life,” she said.
“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 because of 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,” she said in televised speech.
