PETA allies request warning for Fifth Third Burger
WZZM13 reports that the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has requested that the Fifth Third burger not be sold to anyone under 18 and have the following warning label:
WARNING – Eating meat is associated with increased risk of heart disease, cancer, and death
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine advocates a vegan diet along with a ban on animal testing and has received $1.3 million dollars from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals according to a 2004 Guardian article which states that 95% of PCRM members do not have a medical degree.
MLive reports that the burger will appear on ESPN’s First Take on April 7.
The T shirt awarded to finishers can be purchased on the West Michigan Whitecaps website.

You could put a similar warning on most things in life, like stepping into a street without looking both ways.
