That’s what I’d call serious in-your-face advertising.

I myself am old enough to remember a time when pork tasted like pork, before they bred all the flavor out so we could “lean on pork”. And I lament its loss (while still eating much pork, as it is still kinda awright).

While it’s not ‘Mad Cow’ disease Trichinosis¹ ain’t no fun neither.
¹ Trichinosis is infection caused by the roundworm Trichinella spiralis or another Trichinella species. Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, muscle pain, and fever. People acquire the infection by eating raw or undercooked contaminated meat.
As I recall, back in the ’50s a person was quite likely the get it from raw/under cooked pork.
