California Attorney General Bill Lockyer has asked for a court order that would force McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Frito Lay and other companies to warn consumers that their french fries and chips may contain acrylamide, a chemical the state says causes cancer. Junk-food chain french fries and mass-produced chips are extremely damaging to health, and acrylamide is just one of the reasons. I'm in favor of the warning label. It's a good start to educating the public on what's causing our rapidly growing epidemics of cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
