 How has no one told me of the existence of a National Hot Dog and Sausage Council?

I guess it seems intuitive given that pretty much every industry has some sort of governing body promoting its existence and sticking up for the little guy.  What are hot dogs to do when commercials depict a boy eating a delicious tube steak and complaining about how

couple of things

[classypete]

1. These people did not even check with the American Cancer society. I would think that would be a good source of information on what does and does not cause cancer.

2.Why would they go the cancer route with hotdogs? They are going to stop your heart long before any cancer would affect you (at any consumption rate).

3. The claim is agianst proceesed meat. Why the F$%@ did they throw bacon under the bus? "That equals about one hot dog a day or five slices of bacon." Thats like saying "That equals about 5 cigerettes a day or 2 fruit by the foot". WTF

4. How the hell does this math work: "5.8 percent, to 7 percent. Nationwide, it would increase the number of people who get colorectal cancer each year from 58 per 100,000 people to 70 per 100,000, Collins said." Are they saying that only 1% of the people have a chance and it raises from 5.8% to 7% in that 1% population?

5. The natural order of things is out of whack when hippie vegitarians doing pseudo-science have enough money to publish their "unbiased" results in completely "unbiased" ways.

6. I would have lost a bet that hot-dog.org was work safe. And HOLY FUCK (yes I bleeped the first one, but could not restrain myself here) THE SONG! We have to book Buster's Dream for a gig. This is the new Big Bear, and will for sure be on the Boundary Waters Mark 3 mix tape.

At some point in my life, I want to compare cigarettes to fruit by the foot. Whatever the conversion would be, it's a brilliant idea.

Oh god, my browser blocked the song. I totally missed that the first time around. That's a fantastic little ditty.

This is kind of like the tub girl of websites. Everyone takes away from it something different.
