Disease Proof

Thanks to the VegSource blog for pointing out this fascinating article about a food fight playing out in the California courts. As Melanie Warner tells it in The New York Times:

California's attorney general, Bill Lockyer, filed suit in August against McDonald's; Burger King; Frito-Lay, owned by PepsiCo; and six other food companies, saying that they should be forced to put labels on all fries and potato chips sold in California. The proposed warning might say something to this effect: "This product contains a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer."
