Below is a letter received from a viewer who purchased a Porkettes Cookbook; "I received the nice cookbook and also all the reading on pork.
It used to be
my favorite meal, years ago, but I have heard so much about "don't eat pork"' in pas't years so my husband and I j.ust quit eating: it.
But ^ .I have heard you on Joyce aiv-'
ingstons program so much that we have about changed our minds.
My daughter and
her husband and two children just live on pork, and they seem to be thriving ^on It!
So we are going to eat more, I feel like, it isn't like it used to be. a check for $2,00 and may order another cookbook before too long."
