Subject: A Procine Story
Pig farmers have never done well in the United States. Most Americans
prefer beef to pork. Hamburger is an American favorite but contains no
ham.
The porcine raisers were hopeful to see a significant increase in their
business after the scares about health over beef, but most of the
benefits
had gone to the poultry and fish industries, Sale of ham and bacon
remained
virtually unchanged.
Because of this, The National Porcine Association hired a major Madison
Avenue advertising firm to boost sale of pork products. They decided on
an
intensive campaign to saturate magazines television and radio with ads
urging people to eat pork patties.
The campaign was given an extra boost when Congress was convinced to
designate the second of February as the day when every family would be
urged to eat pork sausage.
That day would be celebrated nationally, of course, as Ground Hog Day.
