The Natural Resources Defense Council’s annual report on beach safety is being released today, naming the worst beaches for pollution and health violations, including beaches in California, Illinois, and Louisiana high on the list.  Still, the most bacteria-infected body of water is the Jersey Shore hot tub.

In California, both Avalon and Doheny State Beach were reported for persistant contamination problems.  Not surprisingly, the number one contributing factor towards water-borne diseases on the beaches of California is the Kardashians.

“Danger Dogs”

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has launched an advertising campaign to convince the public that hot dogs are as dangerous to health as cigarettes.   Teens suddenly found hot dogs much cooler.

People are advised not to light up or smoke hot dogs.

The group paid for a billboard ad warning about the health risks associated with over-eating processed meats.  The problem with the billboard is, anyone who thinks hot dogs are healthy is probably illiterate, too.
