 AMA Censures Animal Rights Front Group

Mike Burita of the Center for Consumer Freedom reports that the American Medical Association has censured an animal rights front organization masquerading as a 'physicians group.' The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM),

. . . claiming to be a medical charity, launched a media campaign this week featuring reckless charges about health risks supposedly connected with eating meat.

"This misnamed 'physicians committee' represents a tiny fraction of America's doctors who place animal-rights ideology above their patients' health," said Center for Consumer Freedom research director David Martosko. "PCRM has asserted itself as a home for anti-meat, pro-vegan nutritionists who are committed to removing beef, dairy, poultry, and other animal products from the American diet for good."


The AMA has additionally written that the PCRM recommendations are "irresponsible and potentially dangerous to the health and welfare of Americans."

Closely allied with and funded by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), PCRM is considered a fringe organization of questionable repute that is force-feeding animal rights propaganda on the public. They continually "hoodwink the media with a series of questionable research that fails to enhance public health."

The major media is failing miserably with regard to the animal rights and vegetarian cultists. Without adequate oversight, PETA, PCRM, and the vegan crowd will continue acting to negatively impact the American economy. The results of their success are decreased availability and increased cost of products in the marketplace.
