    I don't know - that might be a good reason to stop selling them in school cafeterias. But labelling them with a warning seems silly unless you are going to slap one on every potato that someone can take home and fry.

    Well since it appears that just about every tasty thing in the world is supposedly bad for you, why not just skip the individual labels? I propose a law that would require all citizen's to chant each morning, "the things I enjoy in life will eventually kill me".

    Geebus whats next? I have an idea! How about a HUGE sign that covers the planet that says:


    DEAR PEOPLE. BY CONTINUING TO BE ALIVE ON THIS PLANET, YOU ARE TAKING THE RISK OF DYING. EVERYTHING CAN BE DANGEROUS SOMEHOW, TO SOMEONE. QUIT WHINING OR GO KILL YOURSELF PLZKTHNX.

    Shee-it. My grandfather ate fatback and grits with butter, drank whisky and smoked El Productos practically his whole adult life. He died at 84 years old. They need to stop this crap.

    The funny thing is that these people have it all wrong. It's not the food, etc that are "bad", it's the fucking preservatives, "sugar-free", "no-fat", "no-carb", trans fat junk that the manufacturers put into the foods.

    Make the manufacturers make food without all of that stuff and it won't be dangerous.

    But, that's our way today. If you don't like something, file a lawsuit. And, people hate lawyers?

    I guess all restaurants must stop serving barbeque, or serve a warning with it because grilling your food can cause cancer from the carcinogens that are produced from grilling as well. Oh, and most southern states should come with a warning because the air quality is so poor that it can cause Leukemia (as it did in my case). WTF? Let people decide what's good for them and what's not. Stop treating people like 4 year olds.

    The lawsuit alleges that companies have violated a state law passed in 1986 requiring companies to provide warnings before exposing people to known carcinogens or reproductive toxins.

    In 2002, scientists found potatoes and other starchy foods cooked at high temperatures contained low levels of acrylamide. Other studies have discounted the potential toxicity of acrylamide to humans.
    Acrylamide study

    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is studying the impact of acrylamide levels in food. In a March press release, the FDA said "acrylamide can cause cancer in laboratory animals at high doses, although it is not clear whether it causes cancer in humans at the much lower levels found in food."
    http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/08/27/fr...eut/index.html
    So, the California Attorney-General is proposing that the courts settle the question of whether or not these companies are violating California state law...

    Isn't that his job? I don't really see what there is to be outraged about here...

    There is no proof yet....only conjecture. After a survey of people who ate fries and chips, they found the higher counts of cancer. Okay....but what else do these people do? Certainly, the fries and chips aren't the ONLY unhealthy activities. It was just the only "common" element. They need to figure out what's really going on.

    On a side note, America has too many farking lawyers.
