I bought a bag of Wasabi flavored Peanuts at the store the other day. On the back of the bag there is a box with claimed nutritional information. Next to that there is another box listing all the ingredients. Beneath that is an allergy warning box warning me the bag may . . . MAY . . . contain peanuts. There is such a possibility. (It’s remote, but they had to warn me just in case.) There’s a law for that.Can you even conceive of what it cost in fees, licenses, permits, attorneys, reviews, redesigns, re-submissions, etc. before the first bag of those peanuts was allowed to be sold? I know I can’t.
Have you heard the one about how there are no jobs here anymore because “we” shipped them all overseas? Ha Ha Ha. Funny, ain’t it? We “outsourced” ourselves. Sadly, we didn’t. We’re all still here, it’s just that it is against the law to DO anything.

I read the whole article of May Contain Peanut, its very nice and its TRUE!
We can’t do any thing we want to do because we have a Law to follow.
