I was wandering through an antique mall this afternoon and found the most unusual deck of cards that I have ever seen. The back of the cards displayed the phrase 'Enjoy Pork Often!' and, as I began to look through the deck, the face of each card appeared to contain pork recipes courtesy of the National Live Stock and Meat Board. Nothing too unusual, I thought. Then, as I looked further, I noted that mixed with the recipe cards were cards displaying pharmaceutical laced hog feed of various types with the nutritional breakdown. As a result, the cards oddly target both hog farmers and general consumers of pork. Do hog farmers need to be encouraged to eat more pork? Do consumers of pork want to know all of the potential pharmaceuticals in their pork roast? Was this a good advertising campaign or a bad one? Anyone up for a game of Pork Poker? I'll bring the cards.
