The Choking Game

by Jason Rossi 23. February 2010 15:27

 

 

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, choking kills more than 100 kids every year.  And roughly HALF those deaths are food-related.
Now the group is asking the federal government to make changes in the way food is designed to reduce children's chances of choking.  And they're also asking for warning labels on certain "high-risk" foods, including:

Hot dogs

Marshmallows

Peanuts

Popcorn

Gum

And other candy

A spokesman for the Food and Drug Administration says the agency will review the group's analysis and recommendations.

Rock Quote of the Day

I really haven't had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I'd rather tell a story about somebody else. - Kurt Cobain
