WTH?

Let me make this very clear  I am against choking. I will repeat that  I AM AGAINST CHOKING.

I just read this article (on the web) about children choking on food.

From aol news:

"According to the AAP, about 10,000 children younger than 14 are rushed to the hospital each year after choking on food, and up to 77 young people die, the statement said. All of this may be prevented, the academy says, with warning labels on packaging for hazardous foods, recalls on foods known to cause choking, and even the ‘redesign' of risky products like the hot dog."

With all sarcasm aside, every childhood death, no matter what the cause, is an unspeakable tragedy. I am in no way trying to trivialize that. That being said, despite all efforts tragedies happen every day. No amount of government control will eliminate this fact.

I do ask this question, exactly what is the parents role in this? Shouldn’t they be the ones who take responsibility for their children and what their children eat? Are parents now too stupid to cut up the child’s hot dog? Too Lazy?

Will they be required to print the warning label in Spanish?

To have that label on my pack of hot dog’s would insult my intelligence.
