Cancer Jr's, er, I mean CARLS JR's Update

[ShutterbugMama]

And it's not just Carl's Jr...it's just that, CARL'S JR Restaurants were the only ones who complied with the law; TO WARN PEOPLE THAT THE FOOD SERVED HERE CAUSES CANCER.

I investigated, and reported to you all the DANGEROUS effects of Acrylamide, and a few other chemicals you'd want to avoid.....  Some listened...MANY of you DID NOT. 

Mom after Mom said, "Eh, everything will kill you these days, Elle...cant worry about all of it!".

Well, here is the article...choice is yours.  Don't say I never told ya so!

Perhaps those Mama's want to be part of one of these class action law suits....hm.

Read it for yourself!

If you STILL don't care, then...you're on your own.

I only share it cause I care about you.

I was horrified the first time you posted.   Luckily I gave up those foods almost two years ago.   I eat no crap food  (ie chips)  I don't eat anything that comes out of a box.   I only eat fresh, live foods.   I eat organic eggs, butter, and when I can afford it   organic veggies and meats.   I don't eat any fast food anymore too.    Once in a blue moon I will have arbys, quiznos or subway....but not very often.

Okay, help me out here.................................. The article states: 

"The companies avoided trial by agreeing to pay a combined $3 million in fines and reduce the levels of acrylamide in their products over three years, officials said."

WTF!!!  Why are they given 3 years to reduce the levels?????  Shouldn't they do it IMMEDIATELY????

Thanks Elle, I live on a fixed income of around 800 dollars a month so we can't afford to eat out and the kids don't eat all that much junk food so maybe being poor does have it's blessings. lol.. thanks for the info...

Yeah, I won't say I don't ever eat fast food but it is rare and I try to go to Subway when I do have to do it.
