Argentina’s President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner used sexual virility as a way to get a conversation started about eating more pork in the beef-loving country.
According to CBSNews she said that she hadn’t known pork improved sexual activity, but she had a very good time after having pork with her husband, former President Nestor Krichner.
“It is much more gratifying to eat some grilled pork than take Viagra,” she said. The President made these statements during as a way to introduce the pork subsidies that have been approved and to prompt discussion on eating more pork.
This encouraged change in Argentinian diet may have been prompted by the potential problem of soon having to import beef. Government efforts to keep meat affordable through taxes and other price controls have enabled Argentinians to eat a record amount of beef.With little or no profit left in meat, ranchers are selling out, slaughtering even the cows needed to maintain their herds.
A specialist in sexual dysfunction posted on the Web site for the newspaper La Nacion that there is no study showing that pork significantly improves sexual activity.
