Do you think some foods should have warning labels?

I think Creole food should come with a warning that it makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. happy food.

I agree with you. I think that is going too far. People are going to eat what they want regardless of a warning label. If they want to do it anyway, so be it. I think you are right. An occasional hotdog is not going to do anybody in. I think they should focus more on making sure our food is safe.

I think it's surprising how many people don't actually know what a hot dog is made of, or don't know the health risks of certain foods, just because they don't pay attention. And then there are those who know and just don't care. You could put warning labels on hot dogs, but I doubt that sales would decrease. I'm not opposed to the idea of warning labels for certain things, like if a product uses ingredients that have been linked to cancer or some other disease. Information is always a good thing, and maybe it would help people make healthier choices. But providing warning labels for items that are just high in fat and sugar would be a little pointless. People already know these items aren't healthy.

I say yes, even though this has been all over the news believe it or not there are still many, many people who have not heard about it yet. I feel that the guardian of the child should know so that they can monitor the child more closely when they are consuming such foods. I know they said with the hot dogs they should be cut up into small helpings. I just feel that if it is printed on the label we might be able to save more lives. Just a thought.

I don't think that is necessary. Everybody pretty well knows what they shouldn't be eating but eat it anyway! I do think the new labels that tell if the product is heart healthy is good. Like to show that the products are low salt or low fat. I think that is just as good. We will all pick what we want anyway!

all consumables, not only food, should be properly labeled. it may not come as a warning but it should be an honest-to-goodness description of the product, it's contents and the substances used in manufacturing it. every consumer has the right to know what's in a product they buy...

I think that the issue is to have certain foods labeled as a choking hazard for small children as small toys are. 17 % of kids who die of asphyxiations is from hot dogs. "If you were to take the best engineers in the world and asked them to design a perfect plug for a child's airway, you couldn't do better than a hot dog," Smith said. "It's the right size, right shape. It's compressible so it wedges itself in. When they're in that tight [it's] almost impossible, even with the correct training and the correct equipment, to get out. When it's wedged in tightly, that child is going to die." The pediatricians want theses types of foods redesigned to help prevent choking. http://health.yahoo.com/news/healthday/pediatricianswantredesignofhotdogscandytocurbkidschoking.html

I think the labels they are talking about are more that they are choking hazards for children of a certain age. They even were saying that you should cut grapes in fourths so that a small child will not get it lodged in their throat. Hot dogs are supposed to be cut up small as well. I do not know how my kids survived, we did not have warning labels or many other things.

Haha...ladym, it sounds fine, becoz people pay more attention on health issue. But the problem is how to judge un/healthy food. Like you said, if we eat hot dog once in a while, that's okay, but it's harmful if eat it every day. So I think it's possible to make food manufacturers do production with instruction label, eg. for crisy chips, the label said it's fried, or it contains unhealthy ingredients. So we consumers can learn it clearly.

Yeah, it should be since some food when mix with other food reacts with each other and so as the person eating it should be put on their label so any person who have an allergy or have problem mixing other food should be forewarn ahead that they would be inform of the adverse reaction, i think all products should put such warning and this would give awareness to the buying public that it insure their health are protected and accidents of food poisoning is avoided such as in hotdog it is say it is bad for the health when food contain preservatives it have an effect in the body which some nutritionist claim as bad for the person eating as long term have bad effects to the mind and body as well.

i think it's better to put the contents on the label to make the people aware. but not to the extent of saying it's not healthy. it's people's option whether to patronize the goods or not. it doesn't need to be a part of everyday meal, anyway. ;)
