How do you say, "Too much information" in Spanish?

Argentina's president Cristina Fernandez suggested that devouring pork was a viable alternative to Viagra and she had just spent a very fulfilling weekend with her husband after eating barbecued pork.

"I've just been told something I didn't know; that eating pork improves your sex life ... I'd say it's a lot nicer to eat a bit of grilled pork than take Viagra," Fernandez commented before a meeting with the leaders of the country's pig farmers.

She added that she and her husband, former Argentinean president Nestor Kircher had recently munched down on some pork and, "things went very well that weekend, so it could well be true."

According to Reuters, Argentines are the world's biggest per-capita consumers of beef but in the last few years the government has tried to encourage people to eat more pork because of rising beef prices and a way to expand the meat industry. At the meeting she announced subsidies for the pork industry to keep the price low despite inflation.

Yet, it seems Argentines are not ready to part with their sirloin just yet. They love their red meat and have so far stubbornly rejected the idea that pork, seafood or chicken is a possible alternative.

If getting the nation to discuss pork and it's supposed sexual potency was the aim of Fernandez then she certainly succeeded. Her comments were widely discussed on Argentine radio and television.

She also exhorted her fellow countrymen to eat the other white meat by adding, "Trying it doesn't cost anything, so let's give it a go."

How do you say, "Honey put on the Barry White CD, I made some pork tonight" in Spanish?
