WASHINGTON--PRNewswire--The Physicians Committee for Responsible
Medicine (PCRM), a radical animal rights group masquerading as a
medical charity, has sunk to a new low, charges a consumer advocacy
organization.
PCRM is using the discovery of a single, isolated case of mad cow
disease as ammunition to further the cause of its parent group, PETA
(People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).

Today the Center for Consumer Freedom called on PCRM to stop
misleading Americans and come clean about its animal-rights motive for
attacking Americans who eat meat. PCRM has well-documented ties to the
animal rights movement, including nearly $1 million in financing from
PETA. PCRM's president, a non-practicing psychiatrist named Neal
Barnard, sits on the board of The PETA Foundation along with PETA
co-founder Ingrid Newkirk.

PCRM has asserted itself as a home for anti-meat nutrition zealots who
promote strict vegan eating at the expense of good health and common
sense.

David Martosko, Director of Research at the Center for Consumer
Freedom, said: "The mission of this phony 'Physicians Committee' is
the same as PETA's: to remove meat from our diets by any means
necessary. In the face of mad-cow fear, the group is actually advising
people to stay away from chicken as well.

Steering an unsuspecting public toward a radical animal-rights
lifestyle isn't very 'responsible.'"

The American Medical Association has soundly rejected PCRM's advice in
the past, calling the group's recommendations "irresponsible and
potentially dangerous to the health and welfare of Americans."

In a public censure, the AMA has marveled at "how effectively a fringe
organization of questionable repute continues to hoodwink the media
with a series of questionable research that fails to enhance public
health."

Martosko added: "It's disturbing, but not surprising, that PCRM would
try to stir up fear to advance its radical agenda.

Thankfully, most Americans know better than to take dietary advice
from PETA. But when animal rights lunatics put on the sheep's clothing
of the medical profession, the media and the public end up being
seriously misled."

The Center for Consumer Freedom is a nonprofit coalition supported by
restaurants, food companies, and consumers working together to promote
personal responsibility and protect consumer choices. To learn more,

I absolutely despise peta as a group.
I am sure there are some "normal" members who are nice people, but their pro
animal anti everyone who isn't brainwashed like them point of view is just
plain nuts.

They're not even pro animal, if they were, they'd encourage zoos, and
other species conservation programs. They're just idiots.

Maybe not idiots, just badly informed and fed much misinformation.

No... they are idiots. They spew the misinformation while attempting to
pose as scientists.

If they were badly informed you'd think they would appreciate actual
facts, or even rational discussion about what's best for various
species. Not so. The only conclusion is they wish to be badly
informed. That counts as stupidity in my book.

The only thing good about them is when they all storm around naked in
protest of the fur industry. Fun to watch.

That's like saying there were "nice" Nazis. PETA members are as
detestable as Republicans.

I've tried informing some of that lot, they just don't wish to be
confused by facts. :-(
