Public health attorneys in California have potato chip makers in their sights for not listing a cancer-causing chemical present in many brands.

Although I'd like to have potato chips without this chemical, food makers report what they put into their foods, not what comes out after processing.
And too much water will make you drown.
Puh-leeze!
"That chemical is acrylamide. It is an industrial chemical used in plastics, pesticides and sewage treatment that also can occur when starchy foods, such as chips, are processed at high temperatures."
Which means that everyone who has ever baked bread or cookies, or deep-fried breaded chicken or fish, etc., etc., has created acrylamide in their own kitchen. We should just put a label on every food: WARNING! This food contains trace amounts of known toxins and carcinogens! Such labeling would be absolutely accurate in content, but useless in any practical sense. We've been eating toxins since the beginning of time... our bodies have evolved mechanisms to rid ourselves of the toxins.
We should all just kill ourselves and get it over with.
Are you talking about this site? http://www.dhmo.org/
The public health groups are biggest group of fascists in this country. They want to ban all "risk"....for the chillllllllren of course.
That site has been one of my favorites for a while. It goes well with a sky is falling article about some chemical in our food.
I second your puh-leeze. These people need to get REAL lives. Are they going after Federal Funding, do you suppose? Is ANYONE listening to them? (roll eyes).
I thought they were referring to the green discoloration some of the chips have.
Yes, think of the chillrren, we're killing our chillrrennn....
Heck, I've been dead for years. It's highly overrated.....
.....green discoloration some of the chips.....
IT'S ________ FAULT!!!!!! (insert any of the following names Bush, Rice, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Daffy Duck, Wile E. Coyote, etc)
DNC approved message. Howard Dean Grand Pooh-bah.
