| Atkins-Blasting ’Physicians’ Committee is a Front Group for PETA |
| 2004-02-10 |
| PETA = Protesting Eating Tasty Animals: The late Dr. Robert Atkins is being smeared for his alleged obesity at the time of his death, by a phony doctors organization that has been exposed as a front group for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and has been censured by the American Medical Association (AMA). The Atkins smear is everywhere on the news, we’ll see if this exposure gets the same play. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) has taken in over $1 million from PETA and the animal rights movement. PCRM and PETA also share office space, board members, and staff. Just like the numerous Pak terror groups do. The AMA has formally censured PCRM in the past, calling its recommendations "irresponsible" and "potentially dangerous to the health and welfare of Americans." The AMA has also called PCRM a "fringe organization" that uses "unethical tactics" and is "interested in perverting medical science." "They’re infringing on our turf!" PCRM’s attacks on diets including meat, fish and dairy foods, and its constant demands for a vegetarian America are rooted in an animal-rights philosophy. You’ll get my steak when you pry it from my cold, gravy stained hand. The facts on the late Dr. Robert Atkins:

| #20 I personally find it funny that the AMA, who has been bashing Atkins for the last 10 years, and who caused an entire generation to suffer with the bad science of counting calories and decreasing fat (proved bad science by Atkins), is now calling ANYONE a quack. |

| #19 I was told two weeks ago my family on my mother's side were Seventh Day Adventists. I found information of them and I told a friend of mine: 1) Fast for a day or two, okay... 2) Vegetarian diet, maybe. 3) But no wine, that is a deal breaker... |

| #17 Stephen, you miss the point. If Peta ever wins and saves all of the animals they will shift to protecting the vegetables as well. Eventually we will only be allowed to eat fruit that has dropped off the vine, and plants and animals that have died of natural causes. In the Peta perfect world mass starvation is not a bug, its a feature. |

| #14 Unlike wolves and coyotes, we don't tear Bambi's intestines out; we shoot her. I know which way I'd rather go. |

| #13 Anyone who wants to argue in favor of a meatless diet on health grounds I respect.Anyone who argues for a meatless diet on moral grounds I have no respect for.Study after study has shown A)plants that are cut emit noise(ie,they scream in pain),B)plants actually try to move to avoid sharp objects.Objecting to killing a cow on moral grounds,yet rejoicing in the slaughter of lettuce that cries out in agony when harvested,and even tries to avoid being cut,is at best hypocritical.If you are anti-meat on moral grounds,but agree to the death of other life forms,you occupy no moral high ground,you are a hypocritical vertebraeist. |

| #11 look into a cow eyes before you slam his head with a hamer? terror! or did you ever feel the heart beet of a chicken before you chop off his head? ROFLMAO... No... but I'm willing to pay for the experience. Especially the heart beet.... of a chicken. |

| #10 Don't forget the baby ducks! I like to just drop live ones in hot oil, fuzz and all. The teeny feathers give them a certain je nais se qua, and the little beaks get crunchy. Excellent with a merlot. |

| #9 I truly believe that if God did not want us to eat animals, He would not have made them out of meat. Not only that MuckBoy, I'm engaged to marry a fine gal who works for a local poultry processor - they specialize in free-range chickens. Dang they are tasty! Also...what to serve with dolphin? Grill it in a chili-honey glaze- team it with big fat steak and freedom fries...you know- Surf n Turf. For the wine....I'd go with a Robert Stemmler Pinot. |

| #7 did you ever look into a cow eyes before you slam his head with a hamer? Spent a lot of time looking cattle in the eyes. Raised my own steers, helped friends feed theirs. Here's a secret semi-literate losers like you never seem to realize: when you look in the eyes of cattle, there's nothing there. They're not intelligent; as I explained to some suburbanite classmates, one man can surround a small herd of cattle. BTW -- do you write like a six-year-old because of a mental problem, or are you actually six years old? |

| #6 Muck - I worked in a slaughterhouse right before Uncle Sam 'greeted' me and sent me on an all expense paid overseas trip. Worker #2 on the kill line. I have seen the eyes of the steers and cows before they meat their maker. I eat meat every chance I get. I am the top of the food chain. I win. |

| #5 did you ever look into a cow eyes before you slam his head with a hamer? Yup, but we used a .45. did you ever feel the heart beet of a chicken before you chop off his head? Again, yes. We hung them by their little feet before we slit their throats, when they run around bumping into stuff it bruises the meat. the poor fish and dolfins being pulled out of the water to make your sandwiches? Fish, yes. Haven't had dolphin, what do you serve with them? This PETA shit don't fly with us farm boys, muck. "muck4doo" - I've had to clean a lot of muck off my boots after cleaning out the barn. It fits you. |

| #3 Mmmm, barbeque. Think I'll head downstairs and pick up an order of murdered cow and decapitated chicken, with extra sauce. |

| #1 how dare you call peta that? meat eaters are the true terrorist! did you ever look into a cow eyes before you slam his head with a hamer? terror! or did you ever feel the heart beet of a chicken before you chop off his head? terror! or the poor fish and dolfins being pulled out of the water to make your sandwiches? they feel terror to. save the cows and realize you can have a tofu sandwich without murder and its good for you to but dick chainey is probably making money of the meat/murder industry and things will never change. time to make a check for pcrm. |
