An anti-meat activist group is urging owners of a minor-league baseball team to “stop glorifying bacon” via its bacon-themed uniform, merchandise and “smell the change” slogan.

PCRM (Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine) has erected a billboard a mile from the Allentown Iron Pigs’ ballpark, comparing bacon to cigarettes and declaring: “Keep Kids Safe: Ban Bacon from Ballparks.” […]

It also evokes the cigarette analogy: “The team would never pass out free cartons of cigarettes to the children of the LeHigh Valley, yet they are providing open access to bacon crumbles and turning a family-friendly event into a public health crisis.” …

And all of them start out as minority parties. And it’s alway about ‘’the children’’.

The team would never pass out free cartons of cigarettes to the children

Reminds me... I've got a grand-daughter with a birthday coming up next month. What brand of cigarettes should I get a 3 year old?

Maybe I'll just get her some bacon instead. She loves bacon.

Where’s a good old fashioned gang-land drive-by when you really need one?

I suppose it would be too much to ask for them to produce a clinical study proving their contention?

My dad's generation had their own brands of cigarettes for kids.

The lack of meat-eating makes them nutritionally deficient and insane.

[TrueKnightGalahad]

It's for da chillun.

[cripplecreek]

I'll just grow my own.

Yeah, great idea. Lets ban anything that might give anyone, anywhere a bit of fun or pleasure. We can’t let people just deciding by themselves what they want to enjoy.

Just checked their website....this is clearly an organization of “physicians” that Osama Obama,Bernie Sanders and Bill Ayers would love.Filled with “no animal testing” stuff.I think you can imagine the rest.

[Liberty Valance]

Better idea: Ban activists from ball parks.

This is one of those times!!!

Somebody should sue them and have them prove their statement.
