Not to defend, PETA, but in fact, very little on these Center for Consumer Freedom "fact sheets" are documented.

The CCF originally was funded by Phillip Morris to refute the scientific findings re: the harmful effects of smoking and the criticism of tobacco advertising.

Later, they expanded their funding sources to include the meat packing industry, alcohol trade organizations (to fight Mothers Against Drunk Driving), restaurants (to refute obesity studies related to fast food restaurants), and numerous right wing organizations.

My advice...dont believe everything you read by PETA OR about PETA and always consider the source.

The CCF, despite its name, is in many respects, an industry(ies) front group and hardly an unbiased source working solely in the consumers' best interest.
