They want to put warning labels on what?

We've all seen them. Dumb warning labels. You know the ones. The warning on the back of a frozen pizza that tells you not to eat before cooking. The one on the box of hot pockets that tells you that the product may be hot when you take it out of the microwave, The one on my dogs bag of rawhides that says, "not for humane consumption." Now a new dumb warning label is being tossed around. On CNN Headline News this morning they ran a story on how California wants to pass a law requiring warning labels on French fries. Now who does not know that French fries are unhealthy? While they're at it they should put warning labels on hamburgers since after all they are unhealthy, How about potato chips, cookies, I'm sure getting out of bed in the morning is unhealthy, let's put a warring label on beds that says, "caution, getting out of this bed in the morning may be unhealthy as it could cause you to step on the keys you dropped on the floor when you got in to bed." Ok, I'm being a little silly with those examples but you get my point. When you start putting warning labels on French fires that means people have stopped using common since. If you don't know by now that certain foods are not good for you where the heck have you been. If you turn on the news at all you'll know what is good and bad. Don't expect the local fast food restaurant to take responsibility for your decision to eat bad food. I love fast food like the next guy but I don't need a warning label to tell me that French fries are unhealthy and that if I take a box of hot pockets out of the microwave it is going to be hot. It is called common sence, More people need to try using it and there would not be a need for such dumb labels.
