10/5    Fastfood chickens contain carcinogens:
        http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060928/hl_afp/usfoodjusticehealth_060928160312
        \_ That's fairly misleading, both your headline and the actual
           lawsuit.  In summary: grilling meat forms carcinogens.  Grilled
           meat therefore contains carconigens.  Fast food grilled chicken
           contains carconigens.  Physicians Commitee for Responsible
           Medicine files a lawsuit to force fast food corps to disclose this.
           PCRM, despite their benigh-sounding name is actually fairly extreme
           in their views and is a major PETA donor.
        \_ Fish have mercury, grilled meat has carcinogens, veggies have
           e.coli and hormones and not enough protein. Sigh.
           \_There's always the Breatharian diet.
           \_ Grow your own food. I hardly grow enough to subsist on, but
              I try to grow what I can. It tastes better, too. I'd keep
              chickens (for eggs/meat) if I was zoned for it.
              \_ All you can grow is a few veggies. Yeah the tomatoes etc.
                 taste better but it doesn't really help the situation.
                 \_ Sure it does. You can grow just about all the
                    vegetables and fruit that two people can eat - at
                    least for the amounts that I eat. If someone is used
                    to a heaping plate of six different fruits every
                    morning, then no. However, every little bit helps.

AFP US fast-food chains sued over carcinogenic chicken Thu Sep 28, 12:03 PM ET WASHINGTON (AFP) - A US doctors' group has sued seven leading fast-food chains including McDonald's and Burger King over their use of a "dangerous carcinogenic" in grilled chicken. The Washington-based Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) filed suit in California Thursday "to compel the restaurants to warn unsuspecting consumers". The group said every sample of grilled chicken products from the seven national chains "tested positive for a dangerous carcinogenic compound called PhIP" during analysis at an independent laboratory. PhIP is one of a group of carcinogenic compounds called heterocyclic amines (HCAs) that are found in grilled meat. In 2005, the US government officially added HCAs to its list of cancer-causing agents, the doctors' group said. "Grilled chicken can cause cancer, and consumers deserve to know that this supposedly healthy product is actually just as bad for them as high-fat fried chicken," PCRM president Neal Barnard said in a statement. "Even a grilled chicken salad increases the risk of breast cancer, prostate cancer and other forms of this lethal disease," he said. Aside from McDonald's and Burger King, the chains named in the lawsuit were Chick-fil-A, Chili's, Applebee's, Outback Steakhouse and TGI Friday's.
