Argentina’s President Credits Pork For Good Sex
Monday, February 1st, 2010Argentina’s President Cristina Fernandez is telling her country, and now the world, that she had a wonderful getaway with her husband, and she owes it all to pork, according to a Reuters report .
“Things went very well that weekend, so it could well be true,” she said last week.
The Associated Press reports that after the speech, it created a buzz across the Argentinean airwaves, setting off a whirlwind of discussion of whether or not to start eating more pork.
Red meat is the meat of choice in Argentina. To expand the meat industry, Fernandez is hoping that her comments will help promote the consumption of pork in her nation.
Reuters said that Fernandez specifically credits barbecued pork for her spicy weekend.
She told pig farmers, “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.”
Juan Luis Uccelli, the head of the association of pork producers, agreed with Fernandez when he cited Denmark and Japan as examples of countries that had “harmonious” sex lives because of their consumption of pork.
“In Osaka, Japan, there is a village in which the people who reached 105 years old and ate a lot of pork had a lot of sexual activity,” Uccelli said.
Amado Bechara, a specialist in sexual dysfunction told La Nacion, “There is no study showing that pork meat significantly improves sexual activity,” reports the AP .
Fernandez doesn’t see the financial harm in testing it out.
In her televised speech, she said, “Trying it doesn’t cost anything, so let’s give it a go.”
