New Anti-Hot Dog Ad features Kids Claiming Cancer!

[SmokeyJoe]

Didn't know if you guys saw this...

An excerpt from the article:

...The ad is part of a campaign to improve foods in schools and get the government to stop providing processed meats. The government provides some, such as ham and processed turkey. However hot dogs, pepperoni pizza, bacon and other popular processed meats are bought from local vendors, not the federal government, according to the USDA.
Cancer Project promoters want all processed meats off school menus. They recently issued a report analyzing menus from one month last spring at 28 large school districts. Half got failing grades for serving too much processed meat.
Many school districts are working to improve their menus, including Chicago's, which is among those the Cancer Project "failed."
However, Chicago schools' hot dogs are zero-trans-fat turkey dogs, said spokesman Franklin Shuftan.

If I removed all processed meats from my diet I would starve to death.

OH... and did you notice, the school district uses zero-trans-fat turkey dogs! Looks like these rabid "save everyone despite themselves" activists have added the All-American Hot Dog to their list of evils (eg: cigars).

I need a Hot Dog and a smoke...

Oh... don't get us Canadians started on the ill-effects of processed meat. Maple Leaf cold cuts anyone?

What a load of

Damn vegetarian fundamentalist. Didn't researchers just find evidence that soy (tofu) cause dementia? Sounds like it may already have struck this group.

That's it, I'm sending my kids to school with head cheese sandwiches....of course, they are 2 and in pre-pre-school, so it may look a little funny

If hot dogs caused cancer my two kids would already be walking tumors given how many of the things they inhale on a weekly basis.

I can say without a shadow of a doubt that conservatives are not behind this. Stuff like this is why I am a conservative. I would like to decide for myself what to feed myself and family.
I ate plenty of hotdogs growing up, I give them to my kids. I am very athletic, run and lift weekly. This craddle to grave view needs to stop.

Give me dogs......or give me death!

Never met a dog I didn't like.....especially with mustard, onions, coney sauce
