Billboard warns hot dogs are as risky as cigarettes; Meat industry disagrees

The group wants people to know the risks it believes are associated with eating processed meats. The meat industry thinks, according to a release, they’re a “pseudo-medical animal rights group” who want to “create a vegan society.”

Susan Levin, a registered dietitian and PCRM’s director of nutrition education, told The Post that hot dogs and all processed meats should have a warning label, like cigarettes, to warn consumers of the health risks. The difference between processed and other meat lies in the smoking, curing or salting method involving chemicals.  - The Washington Post
