Potato chips and french fries could soon come with a warning label in California if the state's top attorney prevails in a lawsuit filed Friday against nine fast food chains and snack-food makers.It's not the California State legislature here,it's the windbag Attorney General taking it upon himself to make some grand gesture.It's kind of funny that the state of California can't even really balance its' own books in a timely manner,yet they want to get involved in determining whether french fries are good for you.Maybe the growing California state budget is a much bigger risk to you.
Attorney General Bill Lockyer asked for a court order requiring McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Frito Lay and other companies to warn consumers that their fries and chips may contain acrylamide, a chemical the state says causes cancer.
