Suggestion: I think you should get 16 pork chops per vote again. Reason: for me and most others, this was their primary food source making them vote every day. Now, I actually have to FARM to get food, not money. I think you should revert it back to like 16 porkchop per vote, however lower their server price down to like $0.10, giving the user about $6 per day.
The reason the number of pork given was lowered was to make the food market viable. There are many, many other forms of food out there. Melon slices, cooked fish, pumpkin pie, baked potatoes, carrots, break, cookies... I doubt the number of pork given will change.
