Porkwich's--a threat to National Health?

"Good evening, loyal fellow subjects. I'm Max Fersen, and this is the evening news.
In national news: the National Association for Physical Fitness has expressed concern that Porkwich's--Lavenrunz's leading fast food chain--is a major factor contributing to the declining health of the people. The Ministry of Health,in contrast, states that recent studies show that the Big Porker--the piece de resistance of the chain--is an important part of the basic four food groups.
(shows a Ministry of Health official, smoking a big cigar)
"The Big Porker features a tender chunk of smoked pork wrapped in the finest Carlsbad ham, topped with crisp peppered bacon and served on bacon fried pan bread. What could be more nutritious than that?"
On the other hand, an NAPF official has stated that the Big Porker, combined as it is with Lavensoda and mini potato pancakes is a feast of doom for the cardiovascular system.
A poll is being taken to determine the truth of either side. However, F. G. Krug, the President and CEO of Porkwich, is optimistic.
(shows the grandfatherly, cheerful man at his massive estate in southern Lavenrunz, pictures of prize hogs around)
"Porkwich serves billions of happy people. Ask any child in Lavenrunz where they'd like to go for lunch--they'll tell you! Porkwich's! Because we provide them with what they like. What restaurant chain was the first to serve free beer hats for futbol games! Porkwich's! What restaurant chain was the first to serve Dolphinburgers? Porkwich's! And that shows that we have concern for modern ecological matters. You can take it from me. We're not worried."
And in fact in the financial report we'll take a look at how outside investors are taking an interest in Lavensoda and Porkwich's...

"...investors, for example, like the Menelmacari."

"Fëanor Holdings Group is interested in setting up a Porkwich's subsidiary in Menelmacar - could such an arrangement be made?"

To the Directors, Feanor Holdings Group:

Such a reputable investment firm's interest is certainly welcomed. Porkwich's is more than willing to go the extra mile in helping set up a situation suited to particular environments as well.
Sincerely

Porkwich's looks like a fast food franchise that knows how to do business, and I'm sure their rich and loving pork-filled history is none too bad either. We are quite interested in opening up our nation to Porkwich's, as it will be an asset that we can actually tax, and a source of food for our people that we won't have to worry about.

The Hack would consider such investment, provided a prospectus and recent stock history was provided.

Very interesting.

Although I do feel the need to note that the Big Porker could be more nutritious if among its ingredients were cheese. I would suggest Swiss, though cheddar might be more visually appealing.

Cheese? Why not slap some butter on it, while you're at it?

FINANCIAL NEWS
A PORKWICH'S TAKEOVER?

Rumours are going around that the Liverpool England Health and Agriculture Ministry is ready to buy over Lavenrunzian food chain Porkwich's. A spokesman for the ministry said, "We do not confirm, nor deny, any attempt made to secure the Lavenrunzian food chain Porkwich's. However, the Ministruy do confirm that we have an interest in this, for a new food chain in Liverpool England." Along with the rumours, it is said that the owner of the chain will receive US$150 million for the chain, plus 10% of each month's earnings.

Whilst we have no innate prejudice against the consumption of meat, such horrendous concoctions should come with health warnings all over the packaging.

Hmmm... we've definitely taken the cheese suggestion to heart, and now the Big Porker with Cheese is added to the menu. Four different kinds! Mozza, Cheddar, Jack, and Swiss, all on the same sandwich and heated to melty-goodness.

We also have a new mascot: the Pork Witch. She's our answer to the Hamburglar. And a new sandwich: the Heartstopper - a supersized version of the Big Porker.

Coming soon to a Porkwich's near you!

You're vegetarians? Gods, I pity you.

Oh, right. On another note, I recommend to all FHG stockholders that their vote be to reject the Liverpudlian purchase offer for Porkwich's.
