Beware the Cancerous Hot Dog!

The Associated Press reported today that The Cancer Project is suing three major hot dog manufactuers (I'll give you a hint. One has a first name, it's O-S-C-A-R), saying hot dog packages sold in stores should come with a warning lable, like that on cigarrettes, citing this report from the American Institute for Cancer Research.

I'm not sure why they aren't taking aim at producers of red meat and alcohol, which the same study also showed increase chances of corectal cancer.

It sounds like some kind of conspiracy by vegetarians to limit our fun at baseball games, if you ask me. And with gourmet hotdogs popping up all over the place, they're an easy target (anti-alcohol is so 1920).

So, in the name of all that is American, please! Save the Hot Dog!

P.S. For a great Mexican Hot Dog in SF, hit up the hot dog cart outside of Circa after last call.
