Would you buy one of Nathan's world famous frankfurters if you had to read a warning label first? Before you head out to Coney Island this weekend consider that three New Jersey residents have filed a class-action lawsuit against Nathan's Famous, Kraft Foods/Oscar Mayer, Sara Lee, Con Agra Foods and Marathon Enterprises.
The lawsuit filed on July 22 by the non-profit Cancer Project states that the aforementioned companies fail to warn consumers of the inherent cancer risks associated with their hot dogs. The suit contends that packaging should include the following: "Warning: Consuming hot dogs and other processed meats increases the risk of cancer."
"Just as tobacco causes lung cancer, processed meats are linked to colon cancer," says Neal Barnard, M.D., president of the Cancer Project. "Companies that sell hot dogs are well aware of the danger, and their customers deserve the same information."
The lawsuit is based on the findings found in the American Institute for Cancer Research's Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and the Prevention of Cancer: a Global Perspective report.
The report states that people who eat processed meats on a daily basis are 21 percent more likely to be at risk of colorectal cancer.
I have all the sympathy for any one that has any health issues, but this seems like a way of getting money. Who are the people that are getting the money? The people that are sick may get to see .50 cents. They lawyers are the ones who are getting paid.
Did you know that if you eat green potato's you could die? Why not sue the people that grow apples they have arsenic in them.
People grow up! You should not have too much of a good thing.
EVERYTHING IN MOERATION.
