I decided a long time ago to eat whatever I want to because it's all just going to turn into $hit anyway...   ;)

They've been doing their scare-mongering for years. I remember many years ago when they were doing press releases every month, and the lib media were just dutifully parroting the releases as "news." One month, it was, 'Pizza is bad for you.' Next month, it was sub sandwiches. Then burgers. Etc.

I believe that Steven Milloy over at junkscience.com has some articles on CSPI. *checks Google* OK, yeah. Check out this search:

Google Search

Funny anecdote somewhere in one of those articles: The head honcho of CSPI decided that coffee was bad and took the coffee maker out of their office. After a minor worker revolt, he replaced the machine. :)

I feel a Linda Richmond ("Coffee Talk"-- SNL sketch character played by Mike Meyers) coming on: "I'm getting a little verklempt. OK, talk amongst yourselves. I'll give you a topic: The Center for Science in the Public Interest is neither a Center, nor Science, nor in the Public Interest. Discuss."

Well, guess I will stick with Mounds bars, M&M's and Skittles. Maybe a Snickers now and then. Oh! and Jelly Beans!

Save a SeAL, club a liberal!!

Interesting ... says hydro as he downs a Wendy's Baconator.

I just got one thing to say to idiots like these:

Stay the hell out of my grocery store, stay the hell out of my kitchen and stay the hell out of my life!

Morons.  Absolute utter morons.  And don't believe for a second they are well-meaning.

Shades of The Jungle...the old Communist litany has never gone away.

Good things we don't still have orphanages (even though I think we should) or else we'd be treated ad nauseum with Oliver Twist/gruel histrionics.

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.

I think the most dangerous food is meat as it destroys humanity and lead to wars and destroys all ultimately.

Obesity & Magic Pill :

I personally recognize that wheat is a far better diet than meat on the ground it normally exits body with ease and rapidity, and we are well aware that our heath depends upon smooth metabolism and blood stream associated with the immune system and how important our daily workout is, as well.

I still think the critical conditions mostly come from breach of our immune system, and the food that stays long in the body is more likely to become a source where germs, bacterias, viruses and the like multiply.
Sounds outlandish, but wheat might be a principal "clean and healthy" food that has led western society to the most decent culture of all.

Disadvantages of meat consumption :

1. The food that stays long in the body looks more likely to become a source where germs, bacterias and the like multiply, which even gives birth to critical conditions involving prostate cancer.

2. The consumption of meat proved lethal as earlier this year, the expansive, long-term release concluded about a third of more than 500,000 Americans aged 50-70 with this behavior tends to wind up with premature fatality caused by cancer, hypertension and more.

3. The in-take of pork raises risks of catching swine flue and its mutation, costing around the initially estimated $2trillion dollars word-wide and endangering recovery,

(( Genes included in the new swine flu have been circulating undetected in pigs for at least a decade, according to researchers who have sequenced the genomes of more than 50 samples of the virus. The findings suggest that in the future, pig populations will need to be monitored more closely for emerging influenza viruses, reported a team led by Rebecca Garten of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in a report released by the journal Science.))

Still, media downplay this fact out of small thinking to protect meat industry.

4. All but media influenced by meat industry blame calorie for overweight or obesity rather than fat, I still think Fat equals Fat by definition and common sense.

5. Hot dogs are often associated with food-borne illness. Though other food items carry listeria , FDA (Food and Drug Administration) studies have shown a high level of the harmful bacteria on hot dogs, processed meat and ready-to-eat meat products. And consuming hot dogs and other processed meats increases the risk of cancer

The class-action consumer fraud lawsuit underway in New Jersey is based on a report from the American Institute for Cancer Research.

Its findings included this fact: Consuming one 50-gram serving of processed meat (about the amount in one hot dog) every day increases the risk of colorectal cancer, on average, by 21 percent.

Nitrites, used to keep hot dogs fresh, are the main culprit, according to the suit.

While nitrites are commonly found in many green vegetables, especially spinach, celery and green lettuce, the consumption of vegetables appears to be effective in reducing the risk of cancer. Because these vegetables also contain Vitamin C and D, which serve to inhibit the formation of carcinogenic compounds, they actually reduce your cancer risk.

6. Two thirds of Americans are overweight or obese, which branch into so many different kinds of diseases, excess body fat increases risk for numerous cancers, costing up to $147 billion a year.

7. America needs to put focus on a sustainable energy industry to become a lead exporter, in place of a fast food business where the overall loss outstrips gain more than known, from my stance.

Provided the average temperature is getting higher, accordingly all forms of germs, bacterias, viruses, and influenza etc are more likely to multiply.

Some skeptics say the warning against hazards of climate change is overstated, but judging from more frequent and widespread outbreaks of e. coli, salmonella, and bird, swine flu cases endangering human lives and economic recovery seriously, some prompt measures need to be taken, I guess.

Also, Breathing toxic chemicals in the outdoor air exposes all Americans to a lifetime cancer risk at least 10 times greater than the level considered acceptable under federal law, shows new data released by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Thank You !
