Putting the "Pork" back in "Pork Spending"

Here's a new reason for a not-so-new play on agricultural commodities.

Argentina's president, Cristina Fernandez, has emerged as a leading spokesperson for the global pork industry. In a piece of truly in-depth journalism, the Associated Press reports that she "thinks eating pig meat is really sexy." Who knew pork could be better than Viagra? According to her, though, she and her husband both sing its praises.

Although "there is no study showing that pork meat significantly improves sexual activity," she approved subsidies for the pork industry, explicitly putting the "pork" in "pork spending.

So how can the average person benefit from this? Perhaps by having homemade "romantic apple pork chops" and an evening with someone special. And perhaps you can pay for dinner with the killer profits you'll reap from going long lean hog futures (which after all, are much sexier than pork bellies).
