The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a Washington, D.C., group that promotes preventive medicine and a vegan diet, unveiled a billboard Monday near the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with the advisory: "Warning: Hot dogs can wreck your health."
The billboard features a picture of hot dogs in a cigarette pack inscribed with skull and crossbones. It aims to increase awareness of a link between colorectal cancer and hot dogs.Me + Eating hot dogs = Once in a Blue Moon.
Really, it will kill me? I am curious to know, where are the thousands - maybe hundreds of thousands - of people that died during the Great Hot Dog Plague of, oh, say, 1700 and beyond?
Let me remind you, the reason why FDR's Social Security was going to work was because people were expected to die at a younger age than modern medicine is allowing them to live to today. I am not saying it is a bad thing to be able to live a good, long life . For me, the issue is with "the good."
Kudos to my late mother, the Great Dorothy Martin, who, at the age of 79, when she found out she had cancer, said no chemo, no radiation, just keep me comfortable - and then set out to eat whatever the hell she wanted and smoke as many damn cigarettes as she could.
