I think you can still eat those things (but am not sure). It’s just that the labels have to issue warnings — like cigarettes maybe.

You can still buy them. Cigarettes have warning labels and they are still being bought.

“Peanut M&M’s are unsafe?”

Probably the red and yellow dyes, and whatever product is used for the coating. So ... yes; they’re probably unsafe in that regard.

Not only do we deserve to know what ingredients are in our food we also deserve to know where those ingredients come from.

Not fit for human consumption. When you hear such absolutist language you may rest assured your being bullshitted. What they mean is “I don’t like this and I think you shouldn’t either.”

“None of those are banned.”

It’s a quote from a future based movie. The insinuation being we are headed to a more and more controlling society.

Yet we have seen certain groups seek to ban all those items even today. Fossil fuel bans, first amendment restrictions, etc

If it’s about fair labelling on products, thats fine, but freedoms get trampled far too often.

It is plagiarism if you don’t cite the source.

You edited my quote out of the reply. I really don’t think you are this dense.

I think consumers should be made aware of what’s in what they’re eating but let the idiots eat what they want. No different then drugs and with any luck it has the same effect as fentanyl.

You get fat, you become unhealthy because of your lifestyle it’s not my problem it’s yours. Deal with it and I see no problem with health insurance charging more for these idiots rather than distribute cost to everyone.

Last flight I was on I was in the middle seat. I’m 6’1”, 2oolbs, broad shouldered and the wife is 5’3” and 110 wet. She was at the window seat. A young lady asked if she could sit beside me. She was the same size as my wife. I said sure. At the end of the flight the lady said enjoy the rest of your trip. I said you too and thank you for being petite and normal. She smiled and said thanks.

Had some fat F’ sat down I’d be on the news.

Food goes across state lines. You can’t have a difference standard for every state.

States have the legal authority to require labeling

Michelle Obama was before her time. It’s incredible how her ideas are being implemented so easily ten years later.
