Ask the American Cancer Society to Stop Promoting Cancer-Causing
Foods
Despite overwhelming evidence that meat consumption dramatically
increases cancer
risk, the American Cancer Society (ACS) raises countless dollars
each year by sponsoring beef promotions called “Cattle Barons’
Balls” in more than 50 cities nationwide. One such event took
place October 11 in Atlanta, the headquarters of the American Cancer
Society.
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is calling on
the ACS to immediately cancel the
Atlanta event and all the other Cattle Barons’ Balls.
Read coverage
of this controversy in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Help us bring the ACS to its senses by writing CEO John R. Seffrin,
Ph.D. Please write a short letter today demanding that the ACS not
sell out to the beef industry—in Atlanta or anywhere else.
For more information about the campaign, please contact PCRM nutrition
director Amy Joy Lanou, Ph.D., at 202-686-2210, ext. 354, or alanou@pcrm.org.
