maybe im just in a cranky mood but i think this is just silly.. they want to put a warning label on hotdogs saying it can increase your chance for colorectal cancer... studies show that a lot of meat consumption and especially processed meats can raise your risk for it..
they are only going after hot dogs though.. not bologna or any other types.. i mean if meat in general causes it shouldnt ALL meat have the label? i doubt people will think twice in seeing the label since there are warning labels on cigarettes and people still smoke..
seems like they are just wanting to pick on one type of food for some reason and if we start putting labels on that then we should label everything! and do people eat that many a year to make hotdogs more dangerous than all other meats put together?
makes me wonder what kind of labels mac and cheese might have??
ok my cranky butt is gonna shut up now lol.. what do you think though? should there be labels? and only on hot dogs!?!

I think any kind of processed food - meat, boxed items, canned goods - should carry some kind of health warning. People are always like "My grandmother ate eggs and bacon for breakfast every day and lived till 100". That great but she lived till 100 cause she didn't' eat all the crap that is available now - like processed meats.

yeah very true.. but i doubt many people would even read them.. if we had that many labels everywhere we might not even notice them after awhile

why only hot dogs though? i mean i would think they would already have to do eggs, milk etc and if they went after hot dogs because its a meat product then they would have to do all meat or all processed meat products

Right. It would be an injustice to pin the blame on hotdogs only when there are heaps of other stuff out there that are just as bad, even worse. It's similar to blaming McDonald's for the society's obesity problem to the point where it has become the icon for unhealthy eating. I don't think anything we find in the groceries are ever good for you in fact.
Last night I was talking to my boyfriend who works in a food warehouse and I was appalled to know that one of my favorite restaurants actually has a regular order of powdered flavour enhancers, BY BUCKETS, numbered from 600 to whatever, and that was just to flavour their french fries! But what shocked me the most was this: Aged care facilities ordering heaps and heaps of artificial stuff and what not. What the heck are these places feeding us with? If we only knew what we are stuffing our faces with, we will stop eating out in a heartbeat.
