Last week I went to our local Long John Silver's restaurant. (So when did the filets become as flat as a pancake? Anyway...) By the cash register there was a warning sign:
Shellfish Warning
Your food is prepared either with or in proximity to shellfish.
People with shellfish allergies should be aware and take necessary precautions.
If you have a shellfish allergy I would think the first precaution would be not to eat in a place that specialized in shellfish! Even if it is fast food shellfish!
Yesterday I ranted against Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell for his take on postponing the Eagles/Vikings game. His take that we are becoming a nation of wusses hinges on the fact that in the olde days "we wouldn't have done it that way." I took the point that if he wants to call the Philadelphia Eagles a bunch of wusses he should get out of his limo, walk past his protection detail, and say it to their faces.
What I say about "Stupid Warning Labels" is be aware of your surroundings and if you have an allergy to seafood stay out of the seafood restaurant.
One is a matter of public safety and the other a matter of personal responsibility. And it's still a stupid warning label.
