QuoteSausage industry blasts 'Hot Dogs Cause Butt Cancer' ad in Chicago
By M. Alex Johnson, msnbc.com
A billboard is bluntly telling Chicagoans that hot dogs cause "butt cancer" — and the hot dog industry is not amused.
The billboard is one of a series of ads being put up in major cities by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, or PCRM, urging people to stop eating hot dogs, which it says are a leading cause of colon and other cancers.
The National Hot Dog & Sausage Council — which you can find at the wonderful URL hot-dog.org — reacted immediately to the billboard, which went up recently on the Eisenhower Expressway.
Calling the ad "outrageous" and "inflammatory," the trade group dismissed the PCRM as a "pseudo-medical animal rights group" bent on turning all Americans into vegans.
The PCRM has put up similar billboards in other cities, like this one in Miami:

and this one in Indianapolis:

But Janet Riley, president of the hot dog council, said in a statement that hot dogs are "part of a healthy, balanced diet" and said the PCRM ads "are an effort to seek attention for their animal rights cause."
The PCRM — a nonprofit group based in Washington whose membership includes thousands of physicians, dietitians and nutritionists — does advocate for elimination of food industry practices that it contends are cruel to animals, and it does endorse a vegetarian diet. It says its opposition to meat isn't political but is instead based on a decade of research that it says show that processed meats are a leading cause of diabetes and heart disease.
Just this week, the Harvard School of Public Health published the results of a 28-year survey tracking the diet and health of 122,000 medical professionals, which indicated that eating a daily serving of red meat increased the risk of early death by 13 percent, NBC News' Robert Bazell reported.
But in her written statement, Riley urged consumers to check with "your doctor, dietician [sic] or the U.S. Dietary Guidelines," not the PCRM, for their dietary advice.
"You can be assured that they will tell you that a healthy diet can include processed meats like hot dogs alongside your vegetables, grains and dairy," she said.
:mad:
They are revolting in any case.
I had mung beans, spinach, and rice for dinner. :)
But now I want a damn hot dog. :rolleyes:

Even I know better than that. :console:

7-11 is all over Korea.
We have a bunch of other chains, like Speedway, Super America, Thornton's, and Circle K. But no 7-11. I miss Slurpees. :(

Yikes. First off, just about every Speedway around here is like a leper colony. No clue what attracts so much riff-raff. Secondly, I get a Crohn's flare-up just looking at any gas station food.
You're a brave man.

No 7-11 here, either, despite them saturating the TV with ads for it some of their stuff. :mad:

Yep. I miss WaWa and their hogies.
I mainly remember them for their coffee. At that time, every other convenience store around there had horrible coffee.

I don't think so. I mean everyone is always so excited because of their deli food, and while nice, I'm not sure that's why one goes to a convenience store.

I recall Japan has some 7-11s, but the big chain was Family Mart. The Egg Dog was pretty good.

That's why people go to Wawa, in my experience of suburban Philadelphia at least. Breakfast sandwiches and coffee in the morning, hoagies and steaks in the afternoon, milkshakes and hoagies for the stoned and drunk at 2:30am...

For convenience store food, 7-11 is surprisingly good in general.
Not to say it is good in any objective sense. It isn't. It's just that it is less objectionable than its peers.
I thought this was going to be a gay thread.
According to Wiki, the group that put it out is some kind of front group for PETA.

I don't think I've ever heard HPV discussed when in a group of homosexuals other than "guess what so and so has? eww!"

The hot dogs at UD arena aren't the greatest. So I suspect some stomach upset today.

Good stuff, my only beef with them is that they're a bit more expensive than their direct competition.

WaWa is awesome. They have everything. You could hold your morning meetings in those places.
If I was the CEO of WaWa I would demand that an outlet be opened in Mahwah, NJ.
"Hi and welcome to the Mahwah WaWa." :cool:
I'd also try to hire Barbara Walters to MC the grand opening. :ph34r:

Only because you giggle at fart, poop and pee-pee jokes.
When you're the CEO, you've got to do goofy things like that to amuse yourself (because counting stacks of bills and swimming in your pool of gold coins does get old after a while) and to assert that you're in charge.
