CSPI - The Food Police

Dodd links to this item that makes fun of those infamous food nannies, the Center for Science in the Public Interest. I'm sure you've heard of them. They're the group that occasionally puts out "shocking" reports about how certain foods are bad, bad, bad and should never, ever, ever be eaten by anyone. If they had their way, you wouldn't be allowed to eat anything but watercress and wheatgrass juice.

One time, I saw a guy from CSPI on some news show. I think he was talking about the evils of Chinese food...or maybe it was Italian food. He looked every bit as cranky and joyless as I would expect someone from this organization to be. I guess eating nothing but watercress and wheatgrass juice will do that to you.
