Thanks to TFMJ, our faithful reporter, for sharing this news from the AP wire...
Hot dogs may be as American as baseball and apple pie, but a national cancer-awareness group says they're hazardous to your health and should carry warning labels.Will that warning label be in the form of edible ink on the encasement? Edible vegan-ink, I mean. How about this warning label: Taking personal responsibility will make people like you more.
The Washington, D.C.-based Cancer Project, a vegan advocacy group, wants to force hot dog makers to use warning labels. The group filed a lawsuit Wednesday in Superior Court in Newark on behalf of three New Jersey residents. The defendants are Kraft Foods Inc., manufacturer of the Oscar Mayer brand; Sara Lee Corp.; Nathan's Famous; and the makers of the Hebrew National and Sabrett brands.
The lawsuit cites a report by the American Institute for Cancer Research that concluded regular consumption of processed meat can increase the risk of colorectal and other forms of cancer.
Good work,thanks for sharing this information!!!

I don't care if other people want to be vegetarian or vegan, but I hate it when they try to cram their agenda down other people's throats. And that's what I think it's all about with these people, and not so much about cancer. I think they are just using cancer as a scare tactic to make people stop eating meat.
Well, in their honor, at the Brockton Rox game on Saturday night, I plan to have a hot dog. Maybe TWO. Foot-long, if they've got 'em. HA!
