Seatbelts interfere with natural selection, baby-seats, cross-walks, safety caps on Tylenol etc etc...
The law says that you have to list ingredients. Start making exceptions and everyone crosses the line. It's happening already with the whole 'no fat, fat-free, no trans-fat' thing.
Badly written law. A company can list a products fat-content using their measure of what 1 serving is. For Lays, 1 serving is 6 chips. Since 6 chips contain less than 1 gram of fat, they can legally write that their chips are fat-free.
Now...when was the last time that anyone stopped after eating only 6 chips?
The use of peanut oils, shells, nuts etc...is more closely monitored because the reaction is extreme for even minimal amounts. If the ingredients laws were relaxed any, some company who uses only 1 gallon of peanut oils in their vat of cookie dough could very well write 'peanut free', sell plenty of cookies and be well on their way to killing off a few hundred kids whose parents bought those cookies BECAUSE they were peanut-free.
Before the argument arises -- People have allergies to shrimp, seafood and bee stings... but they aren't common ingredients for foods like peanuts are.
Unc has got another food allergy. He can avoid his allergy because of label laws. You can't loosen label laws...even if they don't apply to you.
