Warning labels on hot dogs?
Uploaded on July 31, 2009From the USSA website ... warning labels on hot dogs? I guess spam is next:
Hot Dogs Under Attack as Vegan Group Sues Meat Industry
Suit Demands Warning Labels on Packaging
7/29/09
Free hot dogs on Capitol Hill seemed like a good idea as National Hot Dog Day was celebrated on July 22. However, a vegan advocacy group had other plans.
Those plans included filing a class action law suit in New Jersey seeking a mandate that warning labels be placed on hot dog packages stating that their consumption could lead to cancer.
According to a press release from the non-profit Cancer Project, the suit was brought on behalf of three New Jersey residents that had, “purchased hot dogs made by the companies without being made aware that processed meat products are a cause of colorectal cancer.”
This is not the first attack made by the group on the hot dog industry. In 2008, the Cancer Project circulated a petition calling on the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to stop handing out hot dogs and other processed meats to children through the national school lunch program.
The Cancer Project is an affiliate of the Physicians Committee on Responsible Medicine (PCRM) an organization that has been linked to promoting a vegan diet as a way to prevent health problems.
The lead attorney in the New Jersey case, Dan Kilburn, reinforced the link between a vegan agenda and the Cancer Project. Kilburn was quoted in the media saying that, “yes, we do promote a vegan diet to avoid cancer and to promote cancer survival.” Kilburn went on to accuse major manufacturers such as Oscar Meyer with operating “the same deception as Big Tobacco did a few decades ago.”
The USDA includes meat in its dietary guidelines and has not indicated any problems with processed meats.

We all know you should avoid processed meats in excess. These Vegans make me ill.
I've heard you "could" get E. Coli from lettuce.
Maybe lettuce should have a warning lable.
"FDA WARNING! THIS LETTUCE MAY CONTAIN E. COLI!"
Makes just about as much since to me.
Then maybe someone that eats lettuce and don't wash their hands should have a t-shirt on stating:
"WARING I EAT LETTUCE! I MAY HAVE E. COLI! DON'T TOUCH ME!"
I know, I sound crazy. It makes me ILL'er than Steve.
i am sorry but some people in this world just need to be knocked the f--- out . and told to stuff their political correctness up their a$$ along with a big zucchini .
No need to apologize here cooner your among friends! {8^D .
im so sick of vegans and people putin warnin labels on things,, lets put labels on chairs about how it can lead to a stubbed toe
This being America, I respect peoples choices to eat what they want to, wear what they want to, drive what they want to, and live where they want to...
What goes against those beliefs of mine is any group who tries to shove their own beliefs down my throat by force.
There's a difference between "For the public good", and "Because I think it's a good idea".
Hey cooner
Did you know that a zucchini contains more nitrates than a hot dog per USDA. If they stuffed it up there it might give them colorectal cancer.
Ridiculous
Well, on the cancer statement, Have you ever noticed they say everything gives you cancer? Did you know X-rays (Like you get at the Doc's) give you cancer? This world health B.S. is falling to pieces, we could put a skull and crossbones on a pack of smokes and called them "Tumors" people would still smoke, it won't stop anyone, cancer is caused by everything that people like.
The way I see it, we all die, live it up and die happy rather than being some peat loving, veggie eating moron that thinks not eating meat will keep him alive. And for those that say people were meant to eat plants, why do we have canine (Carnivorous tearing) teeth?
What next? are they gonna sue to put a label on beer saying it causes people to get drunk and shoot each other? Will they require stickers on a gun saying that if you point this in you're face and pull the trigger you could die? everything can kill you.
I want to see them put a warning label on the air we breath. WARNING: THIS AIR MAY CONTAIN POLLUTION, ACID, CHEMICALS, and OTHER THINGS that may cause serious illness or death, breath at own risk.
ill eat as many dang hot dogs as i please, this is AMERICA!
I just finished grilling some Ball Park franks. God I love hot dogs. These people are so crazy it makes to want to throw up!
COONER- I think you've got the right idea!
thank you moishe and libertyfirst ED J i did not know that but i would be willing to take that chance on these fruit loops that live among us .
Hey- has anyone grilled any of those Ball Park "Angus" dogs? Try em and you won't be disappointed. These are some great hot dogs!
Hot dogs ... my favorite food. Grilled, covered in melted American cheese, with a touch of spicy mustard, on plain bread.
I tried some of those Angus dogs a few weeks ago. They are good.
I have yet to meet a healthy looking vegan. Humans evolved with a diet of meats, grains, fruits, and vegetables. Our earliest ancestors were hunters and gatherers and those who did it best survived. Even vegans have a historical lineage of great hunters...apparently they have forgotten that. If anything should have warning labels its TVs, video games, and computers (Warning, may cause obesity and heart disease due to inactivity.) As for me, I won't have the time or energy for that non-sense when hunting season kicks in :-).
I love hot dogs. Thats not going to change. lol
