Health Buzz: Pediatrician Group Wants Killer Hot Dogs Remodeled

This just in: I've just performed a DNA-ectomy on tmlhalo, and have cured cancer. Dimension jumping will no longer be necessary. However, if he still wishes to dimension-jump, Occifer and I have found a hotdog-free universe where children are safe from natural selection due to choking. Though, why he would want to go to a place where stupid children are allowed to excel, I can't say.

How bout all you health freaks stop being a bunch of panzies and man up, its called the circle of life everyone dies, be it cancer or choking on a hot dog, if the kid is stupid enough to shove the whole hot dog down his throat then he probably should die, but thats just my opinion.

Can I have a list of what doesn't cause cancer?
It would be so much shorter than listing/banning everything that does. I heard rocks are decently safe. Never mind, there are radioactive rocks. How about the sun? What? That can cause cancer too? I guess I'll have to jump into some other dimension where only I exist. <warps out of space/time> IMPOSSIBLE! Cancer followed me over in this thing they call DNA! Doc quick! Cut out my DNA!

Hot Dogs like other cold cuts etc. contain sodium nitrite or nitrate, which has been shown to cause cancer. See article here: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,584810,00.html Parents should stop taking the easy way out and feed their kids healthy fresh foods.

Does the government let people be PARENTS any more? We may as well just give our kids to them now because they know better. You can drown in a tablespoon of water you know. Imagine what could happen with an entire glass! Total chaos!....Better ban that stuff, it's dangerous.

The hot dog shaped like a doughnut is called, my daughter's build, a 'hot dognut'. Thoughts? Registered Trademark pending

Anderson, my son, has a terrific new idea for the hot dog. They shape them like doughnuts, and then use a bun the shape of a bagel. What a terrific and creative solution to a challenging problem. Thoughts? (patent pending)

Gotta love the "leading cause of injury and death in young children" statement. The reality is S-T-U-P-I-D-I-T-Y is the leading cause. One need not wonder given how liberals have dumbed down this country if not the entire the world. How stupid are you to give a 2 year old a whole hot dog WITHOUT CUTTING IT UP? I believe the term could best be described as LIBERAL STUPID. Then again - STUPID SELLS NO?

A lot of time could be saved,
if a label stating what is in it, what it does to/for you,
and any potential dangers it might conceivably increase,
had to be on it, in the usual most used human languages.
Required on everything. No exceptions.
Done. Everyone is informed. Liability effectively suppressed.
Then once again, my world can have accidents.
Instead of just objects to blame.

I suggest that a warning label such as the following be printed on hot dog wrappers. Hot dogs sold individually, as at a ball park, could be accompanied by a plastic knife with the warning printed on its wrapper.
"PREVENT YOUR CHILD FROM CHOKING: Cut a hot dog into quarters lengthwise before giving it to a child under the age of _____." [whatever age the pediatricians group recommends]
