Title: What’s the Beef with Beef?
Topic: World Health Organization
Discussed by Jeff Stier
with National Center for Public Policy Research (www.NationalCenter.org)
The World Health Organization (WHO) research department recently released a report stating processed meats cause cancer. Jeff Steir, the National Center for Public Policy Research Risk Analysis Director, is here today to say “It’s okay to eat bacon!!” Praise the Lord!
More importantly, however, Jeff explains how WHO came to the conclusion that processed meats are carcinogens. The World Health Organization Cancer Agency alleges that for each 50 grams of processed meats eaten daily, consumers increase their chance of colorectal cancer by 18%. Not “any type” of cancer only colon cancer. And this is not a certainty; it is just a “risk”.
“Without this context, it is easy to pay attention to the '18%' number without understanding context. It's like saying that living near a NASA facility triples your chances of getting hit by an errant space ship. It may be true, but it doesn't mean much,” Jeff Stier says. Furthermore, a person would need to eat this 50 grams of processed meat every single day for their entire life to meet this 18% expectation. That is highly unlikely.
As per usual, the MSM didn’t bother to dig deeper into the facts and started screaming “Don’t eat bacon! It will kill you!” PETA was cheering and applauding the fact that meat caused cancer. Why would anyone be happy that another human being was diagnosed with cancer? Simply put, PETA loves animals more than their fellow citizen.

Title: Where’s the Beef? And the Chicken? And Even the Veggies?

Animal Rights
Activists are at it again. Jeff Stier, Director of Risk Analysis
for the National Center for Public Policy Research, says in a recently
published article in the San Diego Union Tribute, “Animal ‘rights’
activists scored a victory earlier this year – not in court, but through
political tactics….These cases are part of a broader campaign in which radical
activists purposefully seek to blur the important distinction between ‘animal
welfare’ and “animal rights.”
Simply put, animal welfare is the notion shared by all decent humans that we
should take good care of animals. Animal rights, on the other hand, is a system
where whales can be considered slaves and research chimpanzees have personhood.
In fact, they want all animals, domesticated or not, to be protected under the
13th Amendment.
Animal welfare is important. We must protect and care for all God’s creatures.
Jeff says, however, that these activists are doing more harm than good. He urges
people to support your local animal shelters, but be wary of PETA and
Human Society groups. Listen in as he explains how well-known animal rights
groups actually spend donation money.
SHOCKING FACT: PETA actually has a program called “Holocaust
on a Plate” which compares the killing of animals to the killing of
millions of people at the hands of evil men. This is becoming the centralized
issue in their agenda and, unfortunately, it is working.
Jeff’s article on this issue can be found [here].

Title: Is a Bigger Prison Still a Prison?
Topic: Animal Rights Gone Crazy
Discussed by Jeff Stier
with National Center for Public Policy Research (www.NationalCenter.org)
PETA believes that
human kind should not own or keep any animal from land or the sea.
No dogs. No cats. No horses. No chickens. No goldfish. No hermit crabs. No
whales. No dolphins. Nothing. They don’t belong to us. They belong to the earth.
In fact, PETA believes that all animals are equal to humans. They deserve the
same rights as humans. Jeff Stier, with the National Center for Public Policy
Research, takes offense to that. While Jeff is an animal lover and he does think
we should take care of them, they are NOT equal to humans and do NOT deserve the
same rights as us.
Listen in as he explains how a Legislator in Washington filed a bill to ban the
keeping of whales and dolphins. SeaWorld is trying their best to accommodate
PETA by building bigger tanks, but that’s just not good enough! PETA says
keeping whales and dolphins and all sea creatures down to the tiniest clown fish
is imprisonment! The whales were being held in bondage – in slavery! PETA says
SeaWorld is enslaving whales and dolphins in captivity! Give me a break!!!
The sad thing is that movies which depict suffering animals such as whales and
dolphins have such a negative impact that PETA is actually winning this battle!
And it’s not just about whales and dolphins. PETA is after your dog and cat;
they’re after the cows and chickens. They’re also after the zoo!
Listen in as Jeff explains more about PETA’s worldview. He also encourages PETA
members to lead by example.

What types of laws is this money
being used for to try to influence? If it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck,
and looks like a duck, is it a duck?
What can we do to help the National Center for Public Policy Research pound on
the CDC to enforce upon their grant recipients not to break the law?

Title: Will the Consumer Be the Loser When It Comes To Genetically Engineered Salmon?
Topic: Food and Drug Administration
Discussed by Jeff Stier
with National Center for Public Policy Research (www.NationalCenter.org)
Part 1 of 2
Several members of Congress are attempting to pressure the F.D.A.’s
decision concerning genetically engineered salmon. Sounds fishy to me!
Members of Congress want to prohibit the FDA from approving the sale of
genetically engineered fish, fish that the FDA has found to be safe after
exhaustive studies. So where’s the beef? Hint: big businesses do not want the
competition.
But how does the FDA work? Listen in now.

Topic: Food and Drug Administration
Discussed by Jeff Stier
with National Center for Public Policy Research (www.NationalCenter.org)
If big business benefits from barriers to entry by innovators, everyone else
loses, especially the consumer.
Too often big business lobbies for burdensome and unnecessary regulations which
serve only to protect themselves from competition.
When it comes to driving down the price for Salmon, big business is lobbying
their friends in Congress against the FDA approval, thus protecting their own
profits.

Title: Who Should Decide What Commercials Your Kids Watch on TV?
Topic: Food Police
Discussed by Jeff Stier
with National Center for Public Policy Research (www.NationalCenter.org)
Is there an obesity problem in
America? Are too many kids overweight? Should the solution be: Food Police?
Jeff Stier joins us again discussing commercials aimed at kids encouraging them
to eat food products, that if eaten in moderation are OK but when eaten to the
extreme, they may cause weight problems.
Children see too many commercials that use sex to sell. Children are exposed to
too much violence on TV, but do we need the ‘nanny state activists’ to begin to
dictate everything? When is too much too much? Are parents now ready to turn
over the TV turner to some nanny activist? What should be the government’s role
in censoring TV commercials?
