Technically this could be a N.B.T., or a Quityerbitchin’ (Healthcare) but I’m going to use it as a Need A Laugh? and a commentary instead,

Does Takeru Kobyashi look like he’s choking?

In case you haven’t heard there is a big push from Pediatricians calling for hot dogs and other ‘choke happy’ foods to carry warning labels or have their shapes changed. 

Now don’t get me wrong.  I have seen and worked on chocking children.  It is not pretty.  It’s even uglier when they don’t survive.  But a lot of it is idiot parents.  Why are you giving a two year old toddler an entire hodtog?  Grapes are also bad too.  That’s why you cut them!  A lot of this is common sense on the parents part to give your child age appropriate food and WATCH THEM while they eat.  They are not your mini mes, they are CHILDREN.  Try to pick up a pink pong ball with a vaccuum.  See how it sucks right into the hose?  I magine that as a hot dog and your childs wind pipe.  DING DING DING.

They put warnings of cancer and death on cigarettes and people still smoke, so warning labels on foods?  For food alergies yes, but wanting to change the shape of hot dogs?  That’s just plain ridiculous.
