It isn't a matter of Republican vs Democrat on all issues.
This ideology of trying to figure out whats best for others, then implementing it through pain of punishment - balooning government in the process; is really fucked up! What I love about this precious
land is freedom - what we have left of it. All you do gooders need to leave people alone, worry about your own life - my life is none of your buisness! An attack on our freedom is an attack on the soul of the country.
Cheetos are an FDA approved food item so they must be safe for human consumption.
They confiscate them AFTER they were eaten. Do they make the kids vomit?
Don't give em any ideas.
Why? The FDA is rife with corruption and receives its' funding and expertise from the private sector.Cheetos are an FDA approved food item so they must be safe for human consumption.
This makes the food and the biotech industries nervous, and rightly so. When a corn engineered to produce a pig vaccine contaminated half a million bushels of soybeans, the corn's producer required a government bail out to pay nearly $3 million in fine and cleanup costsa fraction of the cost if the drug had made it to grocery shelves. When StarLink corn, a potentially allergenic GM variety, did end up in the food supply, product recalls, lost exports, clean-up efforts, and lawsuits totaled about $1 billion.
On August 2, 2002, a White House directive issued by its Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) told the FDA, USDA, and EPA to create ways that contamination from "field tests could be found acceptable." [3] On November 19, 2004, the FDA proposed a "Guidance for Industry," which acting FDA commissioner Lester Crawford described as "a high priority for the Administration and the industry, to enhance public confidence [and] avoid product recalls."[4] What the new guidance does not do, however, is protect public health. In fact, it does the opposite. If approved, it would increase the chances that the world food supply will suffer dangerous untraceable contamination.
The gist of the new draft guidance is this: A GM crop developer voluntarily provides the FDA with answers to two pages of questions. These may include the results of two superficial tests on their crop that take as little as 20 hours to complete. If crop contamination is later discovered, companies can claim that they have complied with FDA requirements and the agency can declare that their prior "evaluation" shows that the contamination will not cause harm. Armed with what appears to be a legal defense, companies would become less likely to spend the money needed to prevent contamination.
FDA Ignores Science
Biotech scientists insert genes into DNA to produce new proteins. According to the draft guidance, a new protein "might be an allergen or toxin." That's true. But the guidance also states that the "FDA believes that any potential risk from" contamination by GM field trials "would be limited to" this potentially allergenic or toxic protein. [5] That's not true.
Fucking police state.
Fucking police state.
yeah except your still posting on the internet.
What makes you think the internet isn't part of the police states program?
How DARE a school enforce a policy for the good of children and staff!Man, the Nanny Staters sure are on a Banning binge. Cheetos? Come on Socialists.
Teachers across several states are patrolling hallways searching for students in possession of snack food contraband but theres one hot & spicy treat that is Enemy Number One Flamin Hot Cheetos.
We dont allow candy, and we dont allow Hot Cheetos, Rita Exposito, principal of Jackson Elementary School in Pasadena, Calif., told the Chicago Tribune. We dont encourage other chips, but if we see Hot Cheetos, we confiscate them sometimes after the child has already eaten most of them.
Yes, you read that correctly. Teachers at Jackson Elementary school confiscate contraband bags of Cheetos.
A spokesman for the Pasadena School system told Fox News that the ban was part of a district-wide wellness policy and that most of the guidelines come from the federal government.
The spokesman said during school hours they are responsible for the students and that includes their health.
There are reports of similar Cheetos crackdowns in Illinois and New Mexico.
In Albuquerque, a seventh grade health teacher sent a letter to parents calling for a ban on the Frito-Lay product.
The teacher at Lyndon B. Johnson M idle School warned parents that Hot Cheetos are not only unhealthy but can also spread germs because the students share their Cheetos. The teacher also complained to parents that the snack food is too messy.
They have that red dye in them and the kids get that all over their hands and track it all over everything and the custodians have to clean it up, Albuquerque Schools spokesman John Miller told Fox News. Theyre not big fans of that....
