Baseball. Blogging. Whenever.Thursday, July 23, 2009But do hot dogs have that rich tobacco flavor?The Cancer Project is a non-profit dedicated to cancer prevention, nutrition education, research, and buzzkills:A national vegan advocacy organization Wednesday filed a class-action lawsuit in New Jersey Superior Court against five hot dog manufacturers, including ConAgra Foods Inc., asking that they be ordered to attach warning labels to their packaging. Best part: ConAgra, the maker of Hebrew Nationals, declined comment and instead referred questions to woman named Janet Riley, who is referred to as "president of the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council who calls herself the 'Queen of Wien.'" As God is my witness, I'm going to marry Ms. Janet Riley one day. Posted by Craig Calcaterra at 2:38pm Comments

For readability sake drop a ‘sure’ between not & how in the previous message. Proofreading is fundamental. Posted 07/23 at 02:59 PM

Someday, when I grow up, I want to coach third base, WITHOUT a helmet in a ballpark WITHOUT a net from home plate to the fair pole, and between innings, eat a jumbo hot dog WITHOUT a warning label. To get to and from the park, I want to drive a car WITHOUT airbags and WITHOUT seat belts. If I did all that on a regular basis, do you think I might last a whole season (provided, of course, that I didn’t get killed crossing the street in the middle of the block during rush hour WITHOUT looking)?

Since when does my hot dog contain “meat,” as I’ve come to know and love the term? Is that warning really necessary? Posted 07/23 at 03:34 PM

But since there is zero chance of getting cancer if you never eat anything, eating as an act by itself would increase your chance of getting cancer by *infinite* times! *gasp* Posted 07/23 at 03:37 PM

If you’re consuming hot dogs daily, you should be so lucky as to live long enough to develop cancer from it. What a silly lawsuit. We have overinvasive regulatory bodies for just that sort of thing. Posted 07/23 at 03:46 PM

Is it like drinking red wine where one glass a day is actually beneficial, but polishing off a bottle is bad? Posted 07/23 at 05:04 PM

@ Rabbit - If you are a woman, maybe so. If not, you better get out of here before David finds you out! Posted 07/23 at 05:52 PM

Not how the current ‘queen of your wein’ will take that last statement of yours.
