We hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving feasts last week. For those concerned about the safety of their meals, the National Review Online’s The Corner publicized ACSH’s Holiday Dinner Menu — now in its 28th year of circulation — in an op-ed by ACSH’s Dr. Elizabeth Whelan reassuring consumers that while all of our food is naturally laden with chemicals, it is quite safe to eat nevertheless.
So, the next time you hear a self-appointed “consumer advocate” fret about the man-made “carcinogen du jour” and demand the government step in and “protect” us — remember, you just ingested a meal full of natural carcinogens without a care in the world and with no risk to your health.
