Pig farmers have it rough. Most Americans prefer beef to pork, and hamburger is an American favorite but contains no ham. In addition, we eat more poultry, fish, and vegetables, while the sale of pork, ham, and bacon have remained unchanged.
Because of this, The National Piggy Association hired a big Madison Avenue advertising firm to boost sales of pork. They put ads in magazines, television, and radio urging people to eat pork patties.
The campaign got an extra boost when Congress decided to make the second of February the day when every family would be urged to eat pork sausage. That day would be celebrated nationally as Ground Hog Day.
