With all due respect to Health.com and its employees, I am deeply concerned that a PCRM representative, specifically Amy Lanou, is considered an expert in the field of nutrition. Considering that PCRM is affiliated with PETA and promotes a vegan diet merely to support their animal rights agenda, I firmly believe they are not a genuine “Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine,” unlike what their official title attempts to portray. Quite simply, PCRM is an extremist group with a hidden agenda. As long as any food service offers a vegetarian alternative, it will receive high grades based on nothing more than misconceptions about fat.
Please do not consider PCRM’s “insight” into any situation as an ethical or accurate evaluation, especially when it comes to diet and nutrition.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Steffen
You neglected to include whether these airports had AED’S (automated external defibrillators), that should be a #1 requirement for a HEALTHY airport, this day and age its a must. I know, back in 1989 at Logan International, my CPR wasn’t enough! Healthyfully Yours, Kate
This study does not reflect the filthy, dirty air that greats you after you step outside the exit doors of the Phoenix Airport. Phoenix needs to clean up their air! Ingesting good food is great, but breathing dirty air is worse. This study is not a fair test. I have been to all of the airports that you have listed and was shocked at Phoenix being number one. Please do another study on air quality, not just food.
You should know that PCRM is nothing more than an animal rights group that will do anything to promote a vegan diet. Please conduct your own research into this dangerous group before believing in their conclusions.
