What ever happened to the good old days when the worstthings we had to fear on the 4th of July were traffic jams and waywardfireworks? According to our government's Meat & Poultry Hotline, thisyear's top fear is food poisoning by those nasty E. coli and Salmonella bugslurking in inadequately grilled hamburgers and hot dogs.Of course, they don't bother to mention thathigh-temperature grilling that kills the bugs also forms cancer-causingcom-pounds.
Luckily, a bunch of enterprising food manufacturers andprocessors have met this challenge head-on by developing a great variety ofhealthful, delicious, andconvenient,veggie burgers and soy dogs. These new foods don't harbor nasty pathogens orcancer-causing compounds. They don't even carry cholesterol, saturated fats,drugs, or pesticides. And, they are available in the frozen food section ofevery supermarket.
This 4th of July offers a great opportunity to declareour independence from the meat industry and to share wholesome veggie burgersand soy dogs with our family and friends.
Sincerely,
Max Dyer
