was just reading the warnings on a lot of food products, a jar of peanut butter has a warning for the alergic person it says this product contains peanuts check you alergies before eating. on a loaf of bread, warning this product contain milk, butter and eggs. on a box of salt, if you are on a low sodium diet do not use. on a package of hamburger, not suitable for vegetarians.

that is too funny!

lol

ive got a severe allergy to peanuts, i go into anaphactic shock and i have my own adrenline injections.

when shopping i would check to see if it contains nuts, and EVERYTHING said may contain nuts, or may contain nuts has its been made in a factory where nuts are used on other food, or may contain traces of nuts.

if i didnt eat anything that said that the above, i practically wouldnt be able to eat anything.

so if it says that i just ignore it. i only dont eat things that clearly have nuts in them.

well you know with the things are today if someone allergic to peanuts ate peanut butter and got sick they could sue the company for not warning them that it was made from peanuts.


remember when mcdonalds got sued for not putting a warning on their coffee cups about the coffee being hot. it should have been obvious that it was hot. its coffee.

That was rediculous... but the one that got me was when the mother tried to sue for her daughter being overwieght.... (I think it was burger king she tried to sue)

a little off topic but I love the hairdryer warning about not using in the bathtub ?? why would I want to dry my hair in the bathtub makes no sense to me ..

no way, OMG thats insane

didnt that happen in the film what lies beneath lol???

i like the warnings on high rise bridges like 300 feet above the water."no jumping or diving from bridge"

what exactly would they do to someone who did? they would probably be dead anyway. someone who wanted to kill themselves by jumping off the bridge isn't likely to say "sh1t...i can't jump off this bridge, there's a sign. gonna have to find another one"

What about the label on beer, WARNING THIS PRODUCT WHEN DRANK WILL MAKE MEN FEEL LIKE SUPERMAN! AND THINK THEY CAN DANCE
lol

look up TrueStellaAwards dot com

Named after the lady who spilled the coffee then sued McD's.

It's scary what people will sue for.

You're kidding right?? There are ALLL kinds of these lawsuits happening now. People are suing the fast food joints for a multitude of health issues.

No one is responsible for their own actions. If you say I am then I'll sue!

Well I have read a lot of posts in this crazy dating site that make me think that woman are responsible for all misery caused .. that being said can I sue my parents for not giving me enough of that other chormozone so I don't have to Think that anything is my fault ??

Again...

TrueStellaAwards dot com.

You'll find it or something like it there already.

waiting on the warnings to read; warning, consumption of multiple big macs on a daily basis could lead to obesity"

I'm also allergic to peanuts,pecans,walnuts....so I have to watch the labels because some items are processed where peanuts are processed also.....

This whole line of discussion is reminiscent of a newspaper column I wrote back in December:

In our nanny government we trust
By Harvey Benton Harrison III
Saturday, December 22, 2007

Listening to the radio the other day, a commentator remarked on how there are warning labels on nearly everything.
Evidently, he had been hanging Christmas lights when he noticed the white tag hanging off the end. He said mockingly, and I’m paraphrasing here, “You know, I’ve been handling extension cords for about 40 years, and if it were not for our government, it never would have occurred to me that they’re surging with hundreds of volts of electricity and enough amperage to kill you. Thank you, Washington, for pointing that out to me.”
Personally, I thought it funny … and all too true.
Have we become such a pathetic, imbecilic society that we need the government to spend billions of dollars a year to point out the obvious?
In the grocery store a couple of days ago, I finally took a moment to read the fine print on packaged meats. As it wasn’t written in Braille, I’m assuming it was intended for those with sight. You know what it said? “This product contains raw meat.” Really? You don’t say?
On a jar of peanuts was written, of all things, “This product was packaged at a facility that processes peanuts.” Thank God they confessed to that. I might’ve missed the word peanuts in bright yellow capital letters and the little peanut man with a top hat and cane.
Did you know a swimming pool is a drowning hazard, or that gasoline is explosive?
I’m glad our representatives and senators are spending our hard-earned money to pass laws ensuring we are aware of these things.
It doesn’t stop there, though.
Our dependence on the government to care for us from cradle to grave is far more wide-reaching than inane labels.
We rely on their benevolence in the birthing process of our children, the shots our babies need, what is deemed important in education – the failed No Child Left Behind Act being a completely separate rant altogether, how we can discipline our kids, who is good enough to make it into college … the list goes on and on.
As parents, isn’t it natural to care for the well-being and future of our sons and daughters? Do we need the government to dictate how?
Who amongst that gaggle of upper-crust lifelong politicians on Capitol Hill knows of practical educational needs anyway? Let’s get the basics mastered before teaching my ten-year-old son algebra and foreign languages.
Even as adults, Americans misguidedly trust the government to provide timely, adequate healthcare, save for our retirements because, God knows, banks don’t exist, and most recently, pay our mortgages when we get in over our heads.
We’ve even gone so far as ceding our privacy and liberties in the name of safety and security.
Please people, use some common sense and forethought. It’s not our government’s job to tuck us in every night, kiss us on the forehead, and turn on the nightlight. It’s our own.


I could've continued and been much more thorough, but as most newspaper columns are relegated to approximately 500 words, I had to cut it short. Still, there 'tis.

yes, thats what i said, but everything you look at says may contain nuts blah blah. i dont look now, if its possible something has got nuts then ill check, but the rest i dont bother.

as far as some of these warnings I think they are at best uncalled for, you should know if you are on a low sodium diet or a sodium free diet you use a salt substitute. as for the bread I have heard a number of people must avoid lactose whatever that is hence the warning about milk being used, also I know one person who turns bright red and swells like crazy when eating eggs or an egg product guess that is the reason for the warning again. still most warnings are just as the old mountain man said "plumb crazy".
