Sort  by: Date | Title
12/20/09 Mercury’s ill effects overstated
The Boston Globe: The well-documented health benefits of consuming fish far outweigh any hypothetical health risks. It's time that fish regained its old reputation as "brain food."
12/7/09 There Goes the Neighborhood
The Virginian-Pilot: When the animal-rights people at PETA announce where they'll set up shop in Los Angeles, their new neighbors may want to take a few precautions.
12/3/09 'Animal rights' goes too far
The Chicago Sun-Times: I'd like to correct some erroneous information presented in a recent Sun-Times editorial about my organization and its position on the treatment of animals.
10/19/09 Donation questioned
Albany Democrat-Herald: The Eagles are making a huge mistake in giving $50,000 to the deceptive Humane Society of the United States.
10/17/09 Food standards
Virginia Daily Press: It's ridiculous to suggest that small, organic farmers have a food-safety record spotless enough to justify holding them to a lower standard than other food producers.
10/10/09 Issue 2 failure might mean loss of jobs
Chillicothe Gazette: Issue 2 promises to be a defining moment for agriculture in Ohio, as voters will have a rare opportunity to protect farmers from the Humane Society of the United States.
9/30/09 Beware 'obesity tax'
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: Putting an IRS bean counter in every vending machine by implementing a soda and junk-food tax isn't an effective tool for reducing obesity rates.
9/21/09 Soda tax won't improve health
Baltimore Sun: The new report from the New England Journal of Medicine claims taxing soda would reduce obesity rates while generating billions of dollars in revenue. However, many studies have found that taxing soda is not effective for shrinking our waistlines.
8/25/09 A fish story you shouldn't swallow
Philadelphia Inquirer: Consumers shouldn't be scared away from a diet rich in seafood, despite the scary headlines generated by a recent U.S. Geological Survey report.
8/25/09 Don't blame meat producers
St. Paul Pioneer Press: It's only natural that advocates of a slide toward vegetarianism are trying to hitch their cause to the global warming bandwagon. But the facts just aren't on their side.
8/20/09 Flabby argument
Boston Herald: No fewer than five studies in a recent edition of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition unanimously disproved the anti-corn sugar dogma.
8/5/09 Don’t blame it on burgers
Centre Daily: It's laughable for Susan Levin to claim (column Aug. 1), without citing any evidence, that rising obesity rates are caused by our "high-fat, meat-heavy diets."
7/20/09 Labeling food
Chicago Tribune: Parsing the subtle differences between foods labeled "organic" and "natural" is an interesting exercise, but both categories are identical where it counts: nutrition.
7/10/09 Soft-drink tax
Honolulu Advertiser: Michael Jacobson's claim that taxing soft drinks is a good idea because they're "unnecessary" is great recession rhetoric. The argument that soda taxes are an effective preventive health measure is also a timely ruse.
7/6/09 Menu labeling would go better with a side of practicality
Cleveland Plain Dealer: Restaurants' creativity shouldn't be limited by published calorie counts or the fear that an opportunistic lawyer will play "gotcha" with an extra dollop of mayo.
6/16/09 Unappetizing bias
Scranton Times Tribune: The new documentary film "Food Inc." is a crafty hit job on farmers, ranchers, and other food producers.
5/29/09 FARM activists getting lazy
St. Joseph News-Press: The recent H1N1 outbreak was a field day for all kinds of Chicken Little opportunists. But animal rights activists continue to act as the pacesetters.
5/23/09 Nanny-state stance seen in health chief
The Boston Globe: It is unfortunate that President Obama has chosen to put the nation's health in the hands of an overzealous activist who doesn't seem to give any consideration to the importance of personal responsibility or privacy.
5/21/09 Frieden's views on health responsibility
Chicago Tribune: It is unfortunate that President Obama chose to put the nation's health in the hands of an overzealous activist who doesn't give any consideration to the importance of personal responsibility or privacy.
4/19/09 Use time-tested advice when eating meat
Ann Arbor News: A recent National Cancer Institute study about a supposed link between red-meat consumption and life expectancy has created a lot of buzz, and inspired at least one "Astroturf" letter campaign from animal rights activists.
