Ok a few things - even if that number is accurate, that’s all allergens, not one specific one.
The contains list isn’t a problem. That’s not what we are talking about. We are talking about changing food to accommodate, or banning certain things, or other actions of that nature. We are talking about people not wanting the ingredient in the food because too many contain it.

Reply to USC School of Social Work removes term 'field work' because it may offend 'descendants of slavery' by wxcode
There are people actually getting paid to think up and enforce policies like this. Meanwhile, more than half (54%) of Americans between the ages of 16 and 74 read below the equivalent of a sixth-grade level. Virtue signalling is more fun than working to solve difficult problems.

You don't think that two presidents, both harboring top secret documents outside of their intended spaces, both eligible for election in the next campaign cycle, should be compared?
On what planet is that comparison not relevant?

Once again we rail against capitalists for doing what capitalists do. I find it hard to build up any rage against Exxon for doing what was expected of them. Let me know if you find a story about a capitalist who actually did something without profit as the objective.

Yeah man have them get their liberal arts degree and then they can go to an engineering school and pick up the last 12 hours. I mean that's the point of a university, right? Is it a uniting force of several colleges so that a broad base of study can be completed by students who want various disciplines?

Totally. From the same playbook as "now is not the time to talk about gun control" after yet another AR-15 American schoolkid massacre.

I mean... that's way too broad of a judgement there. It really depends on what they want to go to school for and what the school in question is. If they wanted to go to a good engineering school, for example, and I worked for a primarily liberal arts college without a real engineering program, it's not really a feasible option for them to attend.

He hasn't complained.
It's quite likely he doesn't even know.

I had plans to do something similar but unfortunately sold the stock before the big run up. Good on you. Nicely done.

Go to Helen, GA. There's a shop that usually has one or two for sale at any given time. I bought a wwi German Helmet noodle strainer there.

Also, we require manufacturers to say if they put hemlock or carbon monoxide in foods, what is the harm with adding another common poison to the list which must be disclosed?

What's your point? My comment was a partial quote from the article with commentary, and food sensitivity. People are jumping on and downvoting me because they think I'm calling for people with actual life-threatening allergies to die. The conclusions these assholes jump to are amazing.

Given that 85 million Americans are living with life threatening allergies and intolerances (according to FARE, the biggest food allergy research and advocacy organization, seems a bit high, designed to shock you, but whatever), it seems like 25% of your population having an issue that can cause death without good information is a societal problem.
As for whether adding sesame to the "Contains" list is "bending over", hell no. We already do it for 8 allergens, what is the big deal with adding a 9th?
And don't get me started on the number and extreme lengths I have to go to in order to accommodate society for my food allergies. The only issue is that I have kept them so well hidden that most people won't notice.

The article is about allergens. Maybe you should work on YOUR comprehension.

It's not necessarily about the scientists it's about having the voice (or paying for it) to push it in the public or out of the public.
You can be right as much as you want but if you'll get big money after you because of where your right about some single voices at best won't get heard.

There's a medical difference between sensitivities (my comment) and allergies (apparently everyone's interpretation). It's the difference between, "I don't like this" and anaphylaxis.

Hey drama queen asshole. I specifically say sensitivities not allergies for a reason. If your reading comprehension is this bad maybe you should take your manufactured outrage someplace else.

For people who don't want to go through an ugly website, someone posted a video on the subject of some of their advertising.
