xebeche_tzu: If it's legal to charge me $50 for an aspirin while I bleed to death, I should expect the people who sell me food to be laughing behind my back.

Just a point of parliamentary procedure here, but if you're bleeding to death and someone gives you an aspirin, start crawling away from them. You'll turn out better in the end.

offmymeds: ruta: BronyMedic: Rapeseed?

This is a real plant?

WHO NAMES THESE THINGS?!

It's an old name but modern producers agreed with you that the name (and taste) were off-putting and so they bred a new cultivar that tastes better and rebranded it in the 70s as "Canadian oil, low acid" (canola).

Google tells me that the "rape" in "rapeseed" comes from "turnip", because the Latin for "turnip" is "rapa".

/you said "turnip" twice.
//I like turnips.

KarmaSpork: When is profit worth a baby's life?

I think the correct answer is; "when its someone else's baby"

This is an overly simplified answer, the equations for exactly how many babies are acceptable is a complex function of brownness, poorness, and geographic distance. Ask a business major, they will know the formula.

The solution is obvious: hamstring or do away with the FDA and surely food businesses will become honest overnight.

Did anyone still think the labels on food were telling the truth? I've always considered those to be loose suggestions at best. It was a good idea that got hammered down and made irrelevant by greed. Like the Constitution. If it's legal to charge me $50 for an aspirin while I bleed to death, I should expect the people who sell me food to be laughing behind my back.
