{The Mom} Radar hopes her son’s death serves as a warning to people about the dangers of cinnamon incompetent, low-info, Obama voting parents.

Fixed it.

Maybe the government ought to enforce a waiting period for the purchase of spices. You know, like a-salt weapons ...

Thanks. I'm here all week.

He didn't die from cinnamon. He died from choking. If he choked to death on a piece of asparagus, would we publish a story about how asparagus kills?

Sad story, but let's be real here.

Any finely ground powder can be inhaled and cause asphyxiation. Baby powder for instance. Ban all powdery substances.

[Ditter]

People can be allergic to anything.

Obama’s Fruit Loop bathing friend was the first one I saw take the Cinnamon challenge.

... had been climbing around their family’s kitchen and was able to get hold of some cinnamon powder before eating it and breathing it in.
Very sad, but it sounds like the boy wasn't being watched properly.

Anything to much eaten or drank can kill, even water

[PROCON]

LOL.

[logi_cal869]

Yep! dihydrogen monoxide is deadly

There should be warning labels on water bottles...childproof caps even.../s

[Kaslin]

This has nothing to do with allergy. You try eating a small amount like an 1/8 tsp full of cinnamon and see what happens

Who’s fault would it have been if the child choked on a spoonful of Comet or dish washing powder? I bet that stuff is easier to get at than the cinnamon.

Just watch, some Nanny state politician will come up with the idea to redesign the caps on Cinnamon containers to limit how much can be dispensed.

Don’t laugh, they did it with gasoline containers.

[CGASMIA68]

yup think your right that spice is a super fine substance.dot use it much but recall coughing each time I did.probably better to use stick and grate yer own

[CGASMIA68]

It will probably start in Connecticut....these holes don’t seem to care about real problems......just turning everyday life scenarios into problems.

Like gender neutral rest rooms to accommodate all the mentally ill trannys out there(like there a solo many) and clothing bins in parking lots,yup thats what they just finished dealing with.

[HomerBohn]

Stupido.

[Yaelle]

That is awesome!

[Disambiguator]

This death comes at the heels of a popular online trend called the "cinnamon challenge” where participants film themselves eating spoonfuls of the powder

Next up: the "rat poison challenge."

You can't fix stupid.
