"The group cited research from the American Institute for Cancer Research, claiming that a single 50-gram serving of processed meat daily increases colorectal cancer risks by 21 percent, on average."

I want them to prove to me it isn't from the mustard packets...

Knowing some NASCAR fans, I believe that any attempt to manipulate them in this way will only increase their desire to eat a hot dog.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine sounds like they are also the Physicians Committee for Obama.

Yes, folks. There really are people in the world who get off on telling you what to do.

Co-worker and friend worked at a meat packing plant while in high school. Part of his job was to gather the unsavory parts that were ground up to make bologna and hot dogs. He would smile and say “There is a reason there is a pucker at both ends of a hot dog”.

This total BS. Telling a NASCAR fan to stop eating hot dogs will get you as far as telling them to stop smoking, drinking beer and gambling.

"Warning: Hot dogs can wreck your health,"

I'd like to wreck mine with sauerkraut & spicy mustard, please!

As usual we ought to be told how the studies were carried out. Were people polled, after the fact of a colorectal cancer diagnosis, about their diets? Or were volunteers fed scientifically measured diets for a long period of time and their health status followed? In the first example, people might be prone to understate the fatty and other purportedly unhealthy food they ate, making their health look more sensitive to these foods than it really was. Also, gobbling down a bunch of dogs at a sporting event doesn’t equate to a steady diet of them. Even rednecks know that it’s better to eat roast road kill than to turn it into sausage.

If only NASCAR would sell $70 hot dogs in the concession they wouldn't have these cancer scares.

The group said more than 1.1 million hotdogs were served in the concession stands at the Indianapolis 500 last year.

They shouldn't fret. If the little doggies are as bad as they claim, a large percent of those consumers will be dead or to ill to buy hot dogs this year.

Nothing better than pulling into a Lowe’s parking lot on Saturday morning and smelling hotdogs.

Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, another agenda driven organization with a nice sounding name.

That’s why I always put onions, relish, mustard and ketchup on my dogs. I want the serving of veggies to go with the “meat”.

Using tax dollars paid by NASCAR fans, no doubt.

And besides, how do they know it's not the buns?

Maybe this group of docs should come with a warning label.
