WTH? Hotdogs can cause cancer? What is this world coming too? Where would baseball be without hotdogs, and what would generations of TV watchers do when they see a Sabrett’s hot dog stand on TV. No more “OMG those are so good”, now it will be “Yep, they killed uncle Jimmy”. Woe is US!

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Hot dogs may be as American as baseball and apple pie, but an anti-meat advocacy group says they’re hazardous to your health and should carry warning labels.
The group, called the Cancer Project, wants to force hot dog makers to use warning labels. An offshoot of a pro-vegetarian organization, the Cancer Project filed a lawsuit Wednesday in Superior Court in Newark on behalf of three New Jersey residents. The defendants are Kraft Foods Inc., manufacturer of the Oscar Mayer brand; Sara Lee Corp.; Nathan’s Famous; and the makers of the Hebrew National and Sabrett brands.
The lawsuit cites a report by the American Institute for Cancer Research that concluded regular consumption of processed meat can increase the risk of colorectal and other forms of cancer.
