Food fight

 

The last thing flyers hassled by airport security, holiday delays, and the unpredictable winter weather need to worry about is what a group of ultraorthodox vegetarians thinks of their on-the-go lunch. But that’s the real message behind the airport rankings by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine as reported in the Nov. 21 article, MIA lauded for vegetarian food options.

PCRM’s rankings follow directly from the group’s hidden animal rights agenda. Its president is a former head of the PETA Foundation. The group’s agenda takes lean grilled chicken, nutrient-laden eggs, calcium-rich milk, and heart-healthy fish off our plates not for our collective health, but because it holds that cows, chickens, and catfish are our equals.

And you thought the TSA was difficult.

J. Justin Wilson, Senior Research Analyst, Center for Consumer Freedom, Washington, D.C.

    Re the May 18 article Japanese sisters take gold in Dranoff 2-piano finals: Whenever I hear of the Dranoff Piano Competition I remember my own experience with Loretta Dranoff. She was a visiting music teacher who would come twice a week to conduct classes at Hibiscus Elementary in North Dade.

  • Contributing to undocumented immigrants’ low morale?

    Re the May 21 article Cutoff would leave many without legal status: How horrible we all should feel in contributing to the low morale of illegal immigrants. Had these criminals known of the impending cutoff date for amnesty I feel sure they would have committed their illegal act earlier. Shame on us!
