In 1976, I attended a lecture by Ralph Nader. I hoped to hear him talk about the Auto Industry and Auto Safety. What I didn't expect that he had become the new Upton Sinclair. After 5-10 minutes of opening batter, he began a diatribe on the American Hot Dog, talking about Rodent hairs, feces, and urine being "ALLOWED" in ppm level in hot dogs. Now I wasn't a big hot dog eater, but Nader also extrapolated to include sausage, ground meat etc.
Only two or three yrs before I lived off the land in Cambodia, and consumed all manner of life forms. I was a civilian now, it was different. So Ralph won, and we gave up Hot dogs and sausages.
After hosting a few back yard Barb ques, the peer pressure mounted, and I took a load of venison to the butcher to make sausage ( yea I looked around and saw no rodents), to sooth my barb que guests. After all cold beer goes better with hot sausage topped with grilled onions & peppers, than it does with a burger.
When Kosher All Beef dogs became available, and GOD endorsed them. Kosher Dogs became a staple on the grill.
The point of all this is "yes the Blah, Blah....Fund today issued a press release stating that 5 PPT ( parts per trillion) of methyl ethyl death was discovered farmer Jone's certified triple organic, Kosher, farm raised, free range, hormone free, milk. More information in the press release"
99.99999999999999999 percent of the time the Blah Blah,... Fund has an agenda the public is never made aware of, but I guaranty the addenda has everything to do with MONEY.
Semper Fi, and Happy New Year
