The CSPI is sueing KFC chicken and the oil it uses to cook them.

The CSPI in 1998 sued KFI and forced them to use the oil they are now sueing them for saying it is bad.

Communist, gotta love them.

The soda ban brokered by former President Bill Clinton in May

The gift that keeps on giving. Tar and feathers is what this group of asshats need.

Dangerous? Be friends with a sociopath. That'll kill you. Next? Engage in male gay sex or promiscuous heterosexual sex in the ghetto ( yeah, blacks have more AIDS). A person could live in McDonalds, smoke every day and suck on coke with extra sugar and still be safer than either of the above. I don't think the MSM will mention either...

So how long until they want to just give kids pills for their meals? Any child slightly over or underweight would just disappear from school.

My favorite CSPI Moment:

Their widely-touted objection that Olestra causes "anal leakage".

So...it's OK to lecture kids on the joys of homosexual sex (including teaching them to "fist" each other), but keep the eeeeeeeeevil fruit juice and 2% milk out...?

I can't believe that anyone in their right mind would believe anything CSPI would have to say. They are a bunch of idiots trying to interfere with the lives of others. No one elected them to oversee how I eat!

From post #5 Dangerous? Be friends with a sociopath. That'll kill you.

Next?

Engage in male gay sex or promiscuous heterosexual sex in the ghetto ( yeah, blacks have more AIDS).

A person could live in McDonalds, smoke every day and suck on coke with extra sugar and still be safer than either of the above. I don't think the MSM will tell the school children.

Ping!

You might be interested in this one.

(I agree with this one, though).

I'm all for the free market, especially when it comes to schools. There shouldn't be gov't-run schools, period.

And I don't agree with lawsuits or regulations telling a parent what a student can bring to eat in school.

But, if they want to regulate what a gov't-run, taxpayer-funded school sells, I'd go further to say gov't-run schools should sell only 100% fruit juice and water to drink. It's a different issue altogether.

I am not in the least against kids eating healthy.

I AM against the NGO Foundation Funded Healthy People 2010.

Another thing he MSM has said little about is cervical cancer. Only lately are there many articles on cervical cancer, and that's because there may be a vaccine for it. Up until this piece of news, the MSM, particularly women's mags -- have kept it quiet that cervical cancer is sexually transmitted.

You're right. I believe there is a correlation between number of partners and cervical cancer. And you're right - the MSM won't touch that with a 10 foot pole. You've discovered something else liberals believe in - promiscuous sex for women. Good catch.

Do you know if this organization, CSPI, is one of the culprits working toward the "Healthy People" initiative?

Well, personally I think they should serve chocolate milkshakes at lunch.

Even though it has long been known that the vast majority is caused by an STD, the MSM keeps spouting the same old lie that smoking causes cervical cancer.
