Argentinian President Recommends Pork to Boost Sex Life

Argentinian President Cristina Fernandez recommends pork as an alternative to Viagra, telling leaders of the pig farming industry of how she spent a satisfying weekend with her husband after eating barbecued pork.

Fernandez said:

"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."

She explained how she recently ate pork and that "things went very well that weekend, so it could well be true."

Argentines are by far the world's biggest per capita consumers of beef, and in recent years the government has been trying to promote pork as an alternative due to rising steak prices and as a way to diversify the meat industry.

In the televised speech on Wednesday, Fernandez added:

"Trying it doesn't cost anything, so let's give it a go."
