Surgeon General's Warning on French Fries

Here we go with another bloody moronic regulation out of California.

California Atty. Gen. Bill Lockyer sued nine snack- and fast-food giants Friday, saying the law requires them to tell the public that their potato chips and French fries contain a toxic chemical.

In a suit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Lockyer sought a court order compelling the companies to place warnings on their cooked potato products because they contain higher levels of a suspected carcinogen, acrylamide, than other foods.
So I guess I should take it that the state of California will be testing every single food that may be served in any conceivable manner in the state to ensure that they don't have chemicals that may have to be warned against.
