Vegans Want Warning Labels on Hot Dogs, But Meat Industry Says Hot Dogs Are Safe

(CNSNews.com) – On the same day that the American Meat Institute held its annual hot dog lunch on Capitol Hill, a vegan advocacy group filed a class-action lawsuit in New Jersey Superior Court to force hot dog makers to put labels on their product warning of an increased risk of cancer for people who eat hot dogs.
 
In the Rayburn building courtyard on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, people lined up to get free hot dogs while the American Meat Institute (AMI) spokeswoman made her case for the American icon associated with baseball, backyard barbecues and good times in general.
 
“We hope the court will dismiss this nuisance lawsuit, and if a warning label should be anywhere, it should be on PCRM’s (Physicians Committee on Responsible Medicine) press releases, because Americans need to know who they really are,” Janet Riley, senior vice president of public affairs for the AMI, told CNSNews.com.
 
“They’re an animal rights group that’s connected to PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals),” Riley said.
 
“And using a name like the Physicians Committee or Cancer Project (which is associated with PCRM) doesn’t really represent what they are about,” Riley said. “What they are about is a vegan society. They believe vegetarianism is a cure for everything.”

Maybe they'd settle for "non-weiner" zones in restaurants, bars, airports, etc.   :-)  Then they can work toward a weiner tax, cause weiner consumption is a sin.   :-)  They might even start an anti-weiner ad campaign.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Why would they care?  They would never eat a hot dog anyway.

Because they don't want anyone else to have any fun either.

DING! DING! DING! We have a winnah!

As a bonus, they get to tell us what to do "for our own good", because they're smarter than we are.   :whatever:
