The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) is a non-profit research and advocacy organization based in Washington, D.C., which promotes a plant-based diet, preventive medicine, and alternatives to animal research, and encourages what it describes as "higher standards of ethics and effectiveness in research."[2] Its tax filing shows its activities as "prevention of cruelty to animals."[3]

The PCRM's relationship with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) was highlighted in the 2000s. Barnard wrote a column, "Doctor in the House", for PETA's magazine, Animal Times. Barnard and PETA president Ingrid Newkirk both sat on the board, until 2005, of the Foundation to Support Animal Protection, a PETA-related group that donated $592,000 to the PCRM in 1999 and 2000. PETA itself gave PCRM $265,000 between 1988 and 1999.[1] According to a 2004 Newsweek article: "Barnard has co-signed letters, on PCRM letterhead, with the leader of Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty, an animal-rights group the Department of Justice calls a 'domestic terrorist threat.'"[36]

No wonder. The PETA connection. Those people wind up causing more cruelty than they stop.

The only fecal matter is from our vegetables coming from south of the border. Seriously, how would meat be contaminated except during the slaughter and processing by some bozo who doesn’t wash his hands? No. Not going to happen in the USA. I know of what I speak.
