randomnessIn response to the ridiculous bans on pork imports from parts of North America by at least ten different countries, I propose that those of us who normally eat pork incorporate it into one more meal than usual. I started this morning with bacon. Mmmm, bacon.
I suspect these pork bans are more about raising a trade barrier than anything else.
Who's with me? For tasty pork, and against panic and protectionism!
Edit: added the word "imports" and reworded first sentence for clarity.
