They Can't Ban Oreos !

Suit Seeks to Ban Kids From Eating Oreos

Kids in California may have to give up their Oreos, if a lawsuit filed by a San Francisco public interest lawyer is successful.

The lawsuit, filed last week in Marin County superior court, seeks a ban on the black and white cookies, arguing the trans fats that make the filling creamy and the cookie crisp are too dangerous for children to eat.

The big difference between this suit and others that have targeted tobacco and McDonald's fast food is that consumers know that tobacco is bad for their health and that McDonald's food contains a lot of fat, Joseph said.

They cant ban oreos, thats just crazy. I think they should just make it mandatory to put on the label everything that is in the product so there is no confusion.

Deprive me of oreos??? Oh HELL no!

Depriving me of one of my favorite foods is one of the few things to prod me to violence...

NO way are they going to strip me of my rights and my cookies! This has gone TOO far. I'm backing you Dragon, lets get Midevil on Marin County...oh wait I'm in michigan what do I care about Cali?!

I know I Just saw this! Its insane. This is California too, isnt this the state where all these crazy law suits actually won?

This guy is crazy wanting to ban oreos. If you thought oreos were good for your health than that is your own stupidity, dont punish other people for that. I love oreos, but i also know they are not good for you.

Don't worry our favorite snacks won't be going anywhere, comeon they just make albino oreos what this past month! Cali is full of Jack@$$3$ tryingto find another scam. Besides horking on the cookie I don't believe they have killed anyone.

So whats next milk????

You noticed the statistics that are always thrown out in these stories (e. g., 7000 to 17000 people a year will be saved if you do whatever). Haven't you wondered (as I always did) just where in the Hell do those numbers come from??? You always see them whenever some yo-yo wants to ban something for "our good" yet you never see just how they come up the numbers.
