Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack is telling the public that pork is safe to eat. But, Sen. Chuck Grassley is taking it a step further.

In a conference call with Iowa reporters today, Grassley said he’s eaten more than one pork chop this week, and even said he’s alerted his Twitter followers to the safety of pork. Watch the clip below.
