I think it is stupid to spend what will cost millions to do this when we know the cost will be passed on to the consumer. The solution is to cut it for the kids and if the parents are too lazy to do that then it will be their fault if their kid chokes to death.
DING DING DING!!! I said in a thread a week or so ago on this subject that the problem is parents being too busy or lazy to cut the hot dog into small pieces and supervising the child eating to ensure the child is chewing properly.
So the folks at Fast Company...
A private ccompany.
If the government was spending millions on this, I would agree with you. But if a private company wants to bring a new product to market WITHOUT USING ANY GOVERNMENT MONEY, I say more power to them.
BTW, I doubt the private company is spending millions on this. Heck, I doubt they have even spent 1 million. Even so, it is a private company. This isn’t the government wasting our tax dollars. It is a company trying to come up with a new product.
This is no different than a ice cream company comming up with a new novelty ice cream teat (say a popsicle that looks like a cartoon character).
Nobody’s going to force you to buy it. It’s called the free enterprise system for a reason.
