Hot Dog Hooey

There is nothing quite like spending a summer evening at your favorite ballpark watching one of America’s favorite pastimes, baseball. And the experience isn’t quite complete without that foot long hot dog with lots of mustard and relish. Except now if the Physician Committee for Responsible Medicine has its way, oh you know, they’re the group that doesn’t actually have any physicians, you’ll have to get your hot dog with a warning label similar to those found on packets of cigarettes; “eating this product is associated with increased risk of cancer.” I guess it’s a sign of the times and one we will have to get used to as more and more over the top activists groups fight for center stage. This group has actually been told that top Harvard researchers have studied the meat causes cancer theory and has concluded that there is no strong evidence supporting a link between eating meat and colorectal cancer. But then to acknowledge such facts wouldn’t be as much fun. They’re fun comes from using baseless scare tactics and fear mongering. Hey, would someone pass the mustard and hold the hotdog hooey.
