Orzzz: Buy a gallon of milk, and there is the warning, may contain milk. Same on ice cream! Geeze, I sure HOPE so! Peanut butter, contains peanuts. Nah! Really..I thought it was made of straw! It seems every food package now says made in a factory that may have nuts, wheat or what ever in it.
Every plastic bag has a warning, suffocation risk. Except for babies and kids, anyone stupid enough to put a plastic bag over their head, deserves to get snuffed! Does anyone not know this by now.
That song said signs signs everywhere a sign. That is what this country has become. Try driving a big city with multiple lanes. So many signs, you can't figure out which one pertains to you.
Remember the old joke about tearing the tag off the mattress. So we all left the tags on cause it said do not remove. Finally someone told us, that is for the seller, not the buyer.
Some clothing tags read like a novel. Except for the info you really want. Or they are pictures that might make sense in one country but not others.
Then there is the tear here. Which of course doesn't. One plastic chip bag rips wide open the next you need a chainsaw to get into.
I am surprised doors don't say, push open when business is open only,walk through while holding, one foot then the next until totally through it. Proceed to destination.
Another me me me it's all about me....roll eyes

Allergies can kill someone within seconds, those warnings aren't meant for your benefit,they're meant for those who's lives are at risk at the merest hint of (eg) a nut ...if you think they're that stupid then sure dont' read them.

Dont think for a minute those cautions are out of caring for stupid people. They are there only to save corporate butts from law suits. If companies cared so much they wouldnt fill food with chemicals, salt, sugar and bits of machinery that broke off. Do you think they care that they feed white slime to kids, or all the rest of the junk food?
The Darwin Award was thought up to give to people who are so lazy they want Big Brother to baby them, rather than use their brains to figure out ice cream contains milks. Or peanut candy has nuts.
Lawyers think up every way idiots can sue. Half try to protect corporations and the other half how to sue them.
It is called the dumbing down of the people. Teach them to obey.

Its the inability to concentrate and your specialty. We cannot be bored or we instead apply ourselves at what we have chosen. 90 hours a week chosen. Healthfully speaking we shouldn't be doing the same thing that much, not even sleep. Lack of sleep being another thing that makes you dumb.

So people with allergies are now stupid?? Seriously??

yeh it probably is to protect themselves, but prior to those warnings plenty of people ate something made in a factory totally unaware nuts were also used somewhere in the same factory and died as a result..and since the carrot never works with big companies the stick has to be used.

And why are you so begrudging? Surely, if it makes no odds to you then why would you even bother ranting on about it or, are you so disinterested in the rest of humanity you think they should suffer where you definitely and absolutely wouldn't...?

jac_the_gripper:

Allergen labelling has changed the food industry as people have become more aware of what they are consuming. The plant based market exploded within a short time frame after allergen labelling was introduced which wasn't entirely coincidental. From an environmental perspective, we need to change our diet to reduce farmland and increase wildlife before we destroy ourselves.

Not all ice-cream contains animal milks, btw.
.
Ohh... I don't think veganism happened as a result of labelling...disgust with farming methods and the cruelty to animals is the one I've been hearing most about down through the years...seems fish is going to be off the menu now after Seaspiracy aired on Netflix... moping

If it's the convenience that gives poor concentration skills it's the compartment that belies the Asperger's. You can do one thing really well. Hunter, builder, father, fighter, thinker no more. A numbers droid, or a make-up artist. An education system that penalises fast-learners and the generally intelligent those who could deal with the breadth of life - the small businessmen - have no place in the modern caste system of the big corporations where the one thing you can do would be useless in all other contexts.

The disgust was already there, I agree.

Food was already routinely labelled as vegetarian, but allergen labelling highlighted the amount of 'hidden' animal products in foodstuffs.

Labels were read, products put back on shelves and sales dropped. Plant based foods labelled as vegan (and gluten free) filled the gap.

I stopped eating meat when I was 12 and I avoid certain allergens. Back then it was difficult to get a loaf of bread that hadn't been baked on a lard greased tray. The most radical change in plant based foodstuff availability over the last 40 years (even things like palatable, affordable plant based milks, or wine) occurred after allergen labelling legislation.

Plant based food availability was part of a growing trend, but allergen labelling was a catalyst which propelled it forward.

It's not just about animal cruelty and our own health, eating more plant based food is about ecosystems, wildlife and sustainability. David Attenborough's Witness Statement is well worth a watch.

That's the missing ingredient in intelligence. You're the reason that you're alive, and this hasn't happened once it's happened more than once. Your brain not their brain.

Yeah, they think we're all pretty stupid and I don't blame them. When you see how many people who still show up to vote...yep, stupid is as stupid does.

Funny thing. When I grew up, there were few allergies. Rare was the person who had one and it was for shellfish or strawberries. Farmers had hay fever and handled it anyway. Kids were told eat what is on your plate. And we did. Every kid ate peanut butter sandwiches. Now, the brains have come up with if you give a kid tiny amounts of peanut butter, over time..he loses his allergy.
There are few who violently react to things. I would like to hope they are NOT stupid and know where stuff may lurk. Anyone who reacts that badly to the fact that that allergen was in the same building has a real issue.
How many illnesses are invented by the medical industry and Big Pharma and people are TOLD they have to have it?
As far as the human race goes, the earth would be better off if we all perished and left it alone.thumbs up
