Choke free hot dogs - Really?

The academy says: "Food manufacturers should design new foods, and redesign existing foods to avoid shapes, sizes, texture and other characteristics that increase choking risk to children."

Are they fucking serious?

What are they going to do about the shape of bananas?

I really want to slap the crap out of some people.

It must be some sort of miracle that I survived childhood, what with all the hot dogs and those deadly grapes.

feeder tubes , mandatory

Typical academic response. Change the way the world eats beacause a couple of them never learned to chew their food properly.
Here's one that pisses me off. Suicide barrier on the Golden Gate Bridge.
Screw up that magnificient bridge because some people like to kill themselves in a beautiful place. Now they're talking about a net. Brilliant, that'll stop them, except for those who then jump off the net.
And you know there's always some legislators and administrators who will jump on the bandwagon to suck up to a special interest group.

Whatever you do don't touch the weed man.. leave it alone

natural selection man choking weeds out the kids to stupid to grow up and breed


and really? don't want your kid to choke maybe you should watch them.

Not to sound gay or anything but I choked on a hot dog when I was a kid...and you know what it wasn't the hot dogs fault. I should have chewed my food better. People need to stop passing the blame on others and hold themselves accountable for their actions.

Ha maybe the little jackals should stop scarfing down hot dogs so quickly! You'll find chewing your food appropriately will drastically reduce choking, inhaling them like you're in a speed eating contest will not.

They should make gag proof dick spray.

Here, honey, this should help.

they do

look it up it numbs the throat

Usually just coat my thang in coke like powdered sugar. Numb!

Alcohol kills like 120,000 people a year
If it were illegal it would save lives, but probably take away a good chunk of today's entertainment.

Choking kills like 40,000 people a year

If we could reverse those numbers, it would be good wouldn't it? So... the first step is designing, not all-and-every-single one, but a few food groups, which have known or a higher choking prevalence, into shapes and textures which are potentially less hazardous.

I'm sure they're not trying to redesign the banana now, as I'm sure you all have become very attatched to now that you've gotten comfortable with the shape. fags.
Srsly yall are acting like ya got a couple bananas up your ass

or the size of an avocado, or that of a noodle...hehehe...think people!

Listened to a story on NPR, the number of children out of those 40k that actually choke on hot-dogs is pretty low if I heard right. There is something to be said for natural selection, as George Carlin said, "the kid who swallows the most marbles doesn't grow up to have kids of his own" or something to that effect. Look at the people running things in our country today, I'll bet a large percentage of our political representatives were narrowly rescued from IHCS, or Infant Hot-Dog Chocking Syndrome...

I agree. These people have really nothing to talk about. Regardless of shapes, if the children are really not being watched carefully on what they put into their mouths...they will definitely get choke.

Maybe they should instead educate parents that feeding hot dogs to kids under the age of 3 isn't a great idea? It's not exactly the healthiest thing to begin with.

If a brat is degenerate enough to choke on hotdog it has no chance anyway. It deserves to die. It's called natural selection.

isn't this article in reference to toddlers and infants? Not grown ass men
