another reason to be veg

On CNN today, there was a report on luncheon meats and sodium nitrates. Apparently, processed meats, including hot dogs, contain cancer-causing sodium nitrates. Yumm-O!
This mostly affects children, school lunches are loaded with such debilitating foods, and unhealthy single men who never grew up. Health officials advise you to take your kids off processed meats, as they have a direct link to cancer. Thanks Mom! Oh how I wished I was raised vegetarian, knowing these toxins may lurk somewhere deep within.

A spokesman for the American Meat Association makes the counter-claim that pomegranates contain mega-doses of nitrates, but health official re butt by adding that it is when nitrates are combined with meat that it becomes a problem. Besides, Have you ever seen, "Thank you for Not Smoking?" Those spokespeople will say anything to get paid and keep their company flourishing.

I couldn't find the direct link to the story I just saw run on CNN, but here's an article from 2005. This is not new news. Come on people. Stop eating that Baloney!
