Vegan Lawsuits Get Attention at Expense of Common Sense
Posted by Trevor Reid on August 10, 2009
I share the L.A. Times’ skepticism of lawsuits filed by Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a vegan group with ties to militant animal rights activists. Despite its lofty name, less than 5% of this plaintiff’s membership are physicians. The group consistently embraces “a self-serving and simplistic reading of research” and other ploys in its ideological campaign to stop people from eating milk, eggs, meat, and seafood. As can be expected from the political wing of a domestic terrorist front, their “demands for warning labels on hot dogs and a listing of sodium contents on restaurant menus bring little common sense to the table.”

It’s a shame that these groups give people such a bad taste in their mouth when it comes to responsible labeling. If you only knew what was in half of the things you ate…
It’s obviously your choice to eat whatever you’d like but- there is absolutely no reason for a majority of the public to remain ignorant in regards to the kinds of hazards that really do exist when it comes to the food that is approved for sale in America and the Genetically Modified Organisms that people are ingesting with no real knowledge available on the potential side-effects and risks.
I’m sorry that people are so closed minded, gluttonous or have such guilty consciences that they are unwilling to listen to those that would rather eat food that keeps us alive- versus food that keeps us in a happy, cancerous, diabetic, genetically modifying, morbidly obese fog.
