If you were planning on a backyard barbeque this Memorial Day weekend, the media want you to cancel it. Unless of course, boiled tofu is on the menu.
Grilling, steaks, chicken, burgers, hot dogs, not to mention most of the other fixins’ are just too bad for you or the environment according to journalists.
We can’t broil and grill anymore?” replied “Today” co-host Ann Curry after a nutritionist said grilling is dangerous. She was talking to Joy Bauer, who said people need to avoid salty foods, grilling, frying and whole milk dairy products.
“[Y]ou want to avoid having meats that are cooked at high temperatures, and that’s because when you grill or broil, we create these dangerous compounds called heterocyclic amines,” Bauer told Curry on NBC’s “Today” April 5.
Curry’s segment only included Bauer’s recommendation of avoiding foods that can “increase the risk” of cancer, no other medical or food industry perspectives.
Journalists constantly attack the foods Americans eat and the companies that make them – Oscar Mayer, Tyson, Spence & Co. Ltd. and others. Reporters hype food dangers, complaining about the obesity “epidemic” and bringing on “consumer” experts who try to scare viewers from eating just about everything. They also rarely include any comments from the very companies or industries they attack.
Memorial Day weekend is a time to remember those who died to protect the freedoms we enjoy. With freedom comes responsibility, of course, and that includes personal responsibility for what we put in our bodies. Americans have countless options. But the media don’t seem to want you using your freedom of choice when it comes to food – even for just one meal.
“[Y]ou should think twice about going on an occasional binge, because even one bad meal can hurt your body,” warned CBS’s Harry Smith on the Aug. 9, 2006, “Early Show.” “Researchers say that by eating one high-fat meal, it can actually start you on the way to clogged arteries and heart disease,” he added.
The media have blasted red meat as a cancer threat and as a contributor to global warming. Chicken presents bacterial dangers according to “CBS Evening News” and who can forget the way the media hyped bird flu. Even Jack Cafferty of CNN admitted it.
“We’ve fanned the flames of fear about this stuff,” said Cafferty on the March 18, 2006 “In the Money.”
The scare helped depress Tyson Foods stock. But the rest of the picnic isn’t safe from media scrutiny either.
“And, you know, it would be bad enough at a barbeque if we just ate the main course and a little side dishes in here. But, you know we also have drinks and we have desserts,” added Lauer on June 12, 2006.
If the media have its way, say goodbye to baseball, hotdogs, apple pie and Chevrolet - or at least the hotdogs and apple pie.

I'm sure Ann could be enticed with a juicy filet mignon or porterhouse. Just offer her a salad with it, not a baked potato.

May 23, 2007 - 15:44 ET by JasonCEven that freak Michael Savage made a comment recently about how he almost never eats red meat anymore. I, meanwhile, one of the leftist-types on this site, am typing this on my laptop while sitting on the back patio and warming the charcoal and mesquite. I don't see segments like this as propaganda exactly, but my basic reaction is "thanks for your concern, I'm in perfectly good shape. I'm gonna throw a T-Bone on the steak for supper, and if you don't like it, enjoy your tofu-dog."

May 24, 2007 - 07:19 ET by sarcasmoBack in the early '80s, I actually did get-served one good airline meal. It was fresh trout with some veggies and garlic mashed potatos, and I was shocked at how good it tasted and looked. That was the exception, though, and these days I just want Southwest's peanuts and as many drinks as I can possibly scam from their stewardess. I never had a good meal in a hospital.
As for steak prices, in between the political idiocy of ethanol subsidies and my own experience all over the 'net in trying to reduce shellfish demand (only Truthmonger and very few others are willing to cooperate and not-buy "my" stone crabs, it seems) I suspect steak prices sadly won't be falling anytime soon.

May 23, 2007 - 15:02 ET by GothampcThe liberal media and politicians want to destroy everything that is uniquely American. Here are some of the all time greatest hits:
Sunday afternoon drive - emissions cause global warming
metal baseball bats - somebody might get hurt
cub scouts - no room for homosexuals
steak and barbequing - global warming, cancer, cow depopulation
No baseball either
May 23, 2007 - 15:46 ET by EllisWyattYou shouldn't play baseball either. It's too competitive. When one team wins, that means the other team had to lose. Losing feels bad. We don't want people to feel bad. It harms their self-esteem. Nothing is more important than self-esteem.
You should play a nice, cooperative game instead. Visit your local "progressive" nursery school for some ideas.

May 23, 2007 - 15:15 ET by misterbillChris --Be careful---GMA recommends not letting your children chew on dynamite caps over the weekend.
Hey guys, those of you who know about me know that I am a geezer. I wish I had recorded in a book of life all the warnings from the press about health (and climate) over the years. Constant contradictions. I will say something in their favor, many times it was our doctors and nutritionist who waffled on the data.
We were beleaguered with data about cancer and charcoal grilling, now it's just grilling. We non-smokers were warned how the smokers were killing us with second-hand -smoke (SHS). I will bet 90% of you never saw the WHO study disproving that. The smoking still does bother those of us with respiratory problems, so I am happy that there are some restrictions. That does not change the fact that we were lied to again. I, for one, got tired of it. I take everything I read or hear in the MSM with a cellar of salt. (I did not say a grain.)
So, I add a couple of more safety tips for the holiday weekend:
Do not spill charcoal fluid on yourself, then stand next to an open flame.
When swimming in the ocean, do not throw meat scraps and gravy in before you swim.
When swimming underwater, do not breathe in unless you have a scuba or other air providing device.
Do not spray yourself with "OFF" or other insecticide while standing by open flames.
Do not mow the lawn drunk
Never drink anything you find under a kitchen or bathroom sink.
And finally, remember more children are caused by accident than any other way!
Happy Memorial Day!
Please remember all those families who have lost loved ones in the service of our country. Please remember to pray for those who did die defending us. And please pray for all those serving to come home, in victory, and safely.

May 23, 2007 - 18:00 ET by danboI gotta disagree on the tossing meat scraps and gravy in before swimming in the ocean. As a diver I periodically bring stuff with me to feed the fish. You make friends with them. Though a sting ray did once give me a heck of a passion mark in appreciation. And dive operators often toss fish scraps over board to keep fish in the area.
I assume your statement on the meat is because of sharks. Another of the over stated scares by the media. Though rare, every shark attack is major news. Though more people are killed by dogs.
I understand; the sea creature that kills more people, than sharks, baracudas and crocks combined, is the jelly fish.

As for the original topic material, there IS this wonderful thing called freewill. And life is much too ephemeral to worry about little things like what the whiners at Today are whining about. People who exclusively eat red meat die, as do people who are vegetarians, or people who exculsively eat tofu.
So, what the hell is the matter with enjoying the finer things in life? When I get a house, rest assured, I am getting myself a grill, and being in TX, I can use that bad boy early and often.

Can you get it cold in Oklahoma
May 23, 2007 - 17:29 ET by Carl Kolchakbassndude, can you get it cold in Oklahoma? I thought they only sell it warm in Oklahoma. Also when is 89er Days this year? Can I be the guest speaker at your town's 89er Days this year?
PS can you please mail me some Braums ice cream, or one of their Cherry Lime-aids?

May 23, 2007 - 17:38 ET by bassndudeCarl, sure you can get it cold. Stop at any 7-11 or some such place and look in the coolers. Cant mail Braums tho, I eat it to fast. Be better off with a Cherry Limeaid from Sonic. Braums quit putting cherries in theirs, and it is mostly lime anymore. As far as the 89er days, we are having our Centennial this year. So far they plan on spending 40 million dollars on it. Personaly, I hope they have lots of beer and steak for that price!

Why is Oklahoma so windy? Because Texas blows and Kansas sucks.
In west Texas, what is the difference between a Petroleum Engineer and a pigeon? The pigeon can still make a deposit on a Mercedes.

May 23, 2007 - 15:39 ET by ricklailLast night I grilled my wife and myself some chicken and vegetables. Sure was good. I am thinking right now about grilling some catfish tonight. I might as well enjoy it. Everything is going to kill me so eat, drink and be merry.
