I’m not sure if I’ve said it here yet, but that anti-smoking crap? It’s gonna make things difficult for the people who’ve magically developed this psychotic aversion to smoking in ways they probably still think could never, ever happen.

It’s happening. Too bad for you.

LOCKYER WANTS WARNING LABELS ON FRIED FOOD / State sues nine companies for failing to tell of carcinogen

The short version is that there’s this chemical that happens in food — starchy foods — when you cook it — so it’s been around for a while — but it [ooh] causes cancer, especially when you force-feed rodents a whole bunch.

Since it exists in foods, and there’s no warning labels, then — obviously — these companies [McDonalds, KFC, probably Lays, and a few others] are violating some sort of state rule that says that customers MUST be informed when they’re being exposed to…something dangerous and chemicaley, or something. And they’re probably doing it intentionally, because…I don’t know. Probably for the same reason Coke intentionally puts caffeine in their soda — to hurt the children.

I think it’s time to start putting warning labels on everything. Let’s just get there before these assholes do, and make them look utterly stupid. I say there should be a warning on every bathroom fixture, piece of furniture, and light switch. There should also be warning labels for the warning labels. Something like this:

WARNING: Reading this warning label could cause stress. Stress is bad for your health. You should avoid stress if you’re pregnant, or if you’re planning to become pregnant. Please do not read the label that this label is on if you suffer from any medical conditions that may be aggravated by stress. Instead, have your state-issued safety companion read it, and they will determine the proper course of action.

The safety companion is probably a robot, because no human could ever be allowed to have that job….

I wonder, will my next post on this subject be about how they’re going after coffee?
