The Problem with Chicken Wings
As part of the American
culture, we’ve learned to love
food that is quick, easy and
cheap. This is, however, not a
good way to select the food that
nourishes our bodies. It is cru
cial to preserve body in which
we seek to enjoy life, nurture
our family, care for our home
and community and worship
our Savior.
Food that is quick, easy
and cheap has inherent prob
lems we’d rather not know
about. We slather on the sauce
and console ourselves that it
tastes so good. It goes down
well with our favorite television
show, game or team, friendly
conversation, soda, or another
round of beer.
In a special report the
Atlanta Constitution did on the
poultry industry, 84 federal
poultry inspectors were inter
viewed, 81 said that thousands
of birds tainted or stained with
feces, which a decade ago
would have been condemned,
are now rinsed and sold daily.
Seventy-five of the inspectors
said that thousands of diseased
birds pass from the processing
lines to the stores, every day and
that the poultry plants often sal
vage meat - cutting away visibly
diseased or contaminated sec
tions - and sell the rest as pack
aged wings, legs or breasts. This
practice is so unhealthy and the
meat so un-fit for human con-

sumption it is hardly even
believable. However, when
profit is involved, believe it.
When processing plants
realize consumers will eat any
thing, then they sell anything,
and pocket the profit. They real
ize consumers purchase cost
and taste. And, there are enough
chemically produced flavors to
create any ‘taste’ you want, and
will cover the taste and smell of
decay, mold and the filth.
You would think the
wings are healthier, wouldn’t
you? Not according to studies
by Dean Ornish, M.D. In a five-
year follow-up of patients on
his popular vegetarian plan for
reversing heart disease, he com
pared patients on the chicken
and fish diet recommended by
the American Heart
Association, and found that the
majority of the American Heart
Associations’ diet plan follow
ers became progressively
worse.
Plant foods contain no
cholesterol but animal products
always do. For every one (1%)
percent increase in cholesterol
levels, heart attack risks rises by
two percent. For every 100 mil
ligrams of cholesterol in the
daily diet; the typical amount in
a four-ounce serving of either
beef or chicken, one's choles
terol level typically zooms up
five points. And, did you know
that as you cut away the fat, the
cholesterol is actually concen
trated in the lean parts of the
meat?
The combination of fat,
protein, hormones and other
carcinogens found in cooked
chicken creates higher risks for
colon cancer. Chicken wings
not only give you a load of fat
you don't want, but many car
cinogens from creatine, amino
acids and sugars in poultry and
other meats, are produced dur
ing cooking.
These are the same chem
icals found in tobacco smoke,
and are fifteen times more con
centrated in grilled chicken than
beef, and factor into the many
reasons meat-eaters have much
higher colon cancer rates, com
pared to vegetarians.
Chicken wings are mostly
fat, and just like in humans and
other animals, most of the tox
ins are stored in the fat.

Obama Administration Recommits to
Fighting HIV/AIDS Pandemic
President Barack Obama
Washington, D.C. -
Thirty years ago this past
Sunday, the Centers for
Disease Control and
Prevention first reported on
the condition that would
eventually become known as
human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV) infection.
Over the past three
decades, HIV has emerged as
a potent global pandemic,
and today more than 33 mil
lion people around the world
are living with HIV and more
than two million deaths from
Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome
(AIDS) annually.
Even today, more than
50,000 people in the United
States are infected with HIV
in the United States every
year.
“We pause to mark the
thirty years we have been
fighting HIV/AIDS.” said
President Barack Obama.
“As we remember people in
our own lives we have lost
and stand by those living
with HIV/AIDS, we must
also rededicate ourselves to
finally ending this pandemic
- in this country and around
the world.”
“This battle is not
over,” said Secretary for
Health and Human Services
Kathleen Sebelius. “As long
as the AIDS virus threatens
the health and lives of people
here and around the globe,
our work will continue to
connect people to treatment,
educate them about how to
protect themselves, battle
discrimination, and to keep
the country focused on our
collective fight against this
pandemic.”
While America has
made great strides in the
fight against HIV/AIDS in
recent years, the Obama
Administration has made it a
priority to re-focus national
attention on a domestic epi
demic that is still in play.
Building on a growing
body of evidence and lessons
learned, the Administration
released last year and is now
implementing a comprehen
sive National HIV/AIDS
Strategy that provides a
roadmap for reducing new
infections, improving care
and health outcomes for peo
ple living with HIV/AIDS,
and reducing the health dis
parities that have character
ized this epidemic.
The President is also
deeply committed to expand
ing access to HIV/AIDS pre
vention and care for more
Americans and to supporting
a robust research agenda to
ensure that we make steady
progress toward ending the
pandemic.
Under the President’s
leadership, the
Administration has increased
domestic HIV/AIDS funding
to support the Ryan White
HIV/AIDS Program and
HIV prevention. On the
global stage, the Obama
Administration’s Global
Health Initiative has built on
the President’s Emergency
Plan for AIDS Relief (PEP-
FAR) by expanding access to
treatment, prevention and
care for those in need around
the world, and further
enhanced our impact by pro
viding increased support for
maternal-child health and by
supporting the efforts of gov
ernments and communities
in the developing world to
build their capacity to fight
this epidemic and meet the
other health challenges they
face.
The Administration will
continue to use its leadership
to call upon other countries
to honor their commitments
to defeat a pandemic that
demands the attention of the
entire world.
On the domestic front
and international stage, the
Administration continues to
work closely with the
American people who, on
this day, should stand proud
of what they have done, at
home and abroad, to ignite
our collective commitment
to this worthy cause.
