8/1/07 Vegetarian Diet And Cancer
The Press & Dakotan (Yankton, SD): If we really expect to cure cancer some day, we should recognize that the animal rights movement is our single biggest obstacle. Cancer research and prevention should be left to oncologists, not save-the-chickens fanatics.
7/31/07 Pregnancy and Seafood
The New York Times: Decades from now, today’s pregnant women will be kicking themselves for overreacting to constantly shifting government warnings about fish.
7/31/07 Contagious obesity
The Chicago Tribune: If obesity is contagious, so is stupidity.
7/30/07 Group's mercury scare is misleading
The Mobile Register: Trying to scare Alabamians away from Gulf-caught fish is irresponsible. Fish has always been a health food.
7/30/07 Catching fat
Los Angeles Times: Alleging that fat is contagious (like flu or polio) moves weight loss from an individual responsibility to a social burden.
7/28/07 Big pile of chips to get cancer
The Peterborough Examiner (Ontario): To increase their cancer risk from acrylamide, potato-chip eaters have to consume 62 pounds of the snacks every day, for the rest of their lives. Is this really a health risk we should be worried about?
7/28/07 Sushi, Diet Soda Latest Health Targets
The New York Sun: Study after study show that the proven health benefits of eating fish far outweigh the hypothetical health risks. It is "brain food," after all.
7/28/07 Vegetarianism isn't cure-all for warming
The Baltimore Sun: PCRM spokesperson is an animal rights activist, not a global-warming crusader
7/23/07 The Double Dipper
The Seattle Times: The Center for Science in the Public Interest should own up to its role in putting trans fats in restaurants to begin with.
7/11/07 Keep eating that seafood, Mary Ann
The Tallahassee Democrat: Activist groups that sponsor mercury testing for high-profile public figures are more interested in promoting scare stories than common sense.
7/11/07 Seafood Safety
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer: Since some chemicals can now be measured in parts per trillion, the result may be a panic where none should exist. Merely measuring something doesn't make it dangerous.
7/8/07 When it comes to treatment for diabetes, listen to your doctor -- not a radical
The Greeley (CO) Tribune: Americans with diabetes should be listening to their doctors, not a group of save-the-chickens radicals.
7/8/07 Whatever the advice, consider the source
The Biloxi Sun Herald: A meatless and milkless diet is not a cure for diabetes, regardless of what the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine thinks.
6/23/07 Heavy on the Scare
Bangor Daily News: The Alliance for a Clean and Healthy Maine hasn’t proved anything with its "Burden of Evidence" report — except maybe why it’s a bad idea to trust activists with serious science, "Tests on 12 Mainers find industrial chemicals" (BDN, June 12).
6/17/07 Animal Rights
The Chicago Tribune: If the animal rights movement's leaders don't care if their fellow humans live or die, why should they have a say in what we eat or wear?
6/9/07 Animal activists can be terrorists
The Baltimore Sun: Jonathan Paul is a terrorist. He burned down buildings in order to scare Americans into changing their behavior.
6/2/07 Paul's Action Was Terrorism
The Hartford Courant: Caroline Paul shouldn't expect much sympathy for her arsonist sibling. Terrorism is terrorism, even if the perpetrator is an animal-rights nut.
5/18/07 State being alarmist in mercury standard
Knoxville News-Sentinel: The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation has made a serious mistake in changing its health standard for traces of mercury in fish.
4/28/07 TDEC Ignores The Best Science In Setting Mercury Standard
The Chattanoogan: The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation has made a serious mistake in changing its health standard for traces of mercury in fish.
4/14/07 Fish scares
Chicago Tribune: What a difference 16 months can make. Americans are becoming reacquainted with the idea that fish -- mercury traces and all -- is actually a health food.
