"CONTAINS MILK INGREDIENTS" !!!!!!!!!!!!    (according to the package)

What the heck should I do now?  It's too late!   I've already eaten it!  Should I call Poison Control or something?

Why, oh why, didn't I read the warning label before I opened the package?

I will use my final moments of life to...warn.......others..........

Have warning labels gotten out of hand, or what?

not at all, if my friend nicole accidentally eats anything with milk in it she throws up for a couple hours.they do that to cover their asses so they wont get sued.

Then she shouldn't eat dairy products - like cheese  

I like how people with no common sense can sue people for their OWN bad judgement.

Ya know what else? Cheese contains chemicals that can increase the intensity and realism of your dreams...

That was like the bag of mixed nuts I had...  It said, "May Contain Nuts."  OMFG!!!!  NO WAY!!!!

This sucks...I'm lactose intolerant, I can't have any cool dreams, drugs are illegal, and my wife doesn't like it when I drink...no wonder my wife hates being around me.

what kind of cheese was it? That makes a difference. Swiss cheese is good on sandwiches :mrgreen:

You can get cheese without milk ingredients.

I think warning labels have definately gotten out of hand.  I say we get rid of them completely and let nature take it's course.  The gene pool should improve significantly after all the idiots die off.

Well, that's not technically "cheese" then, is it?  

Only imitation cheese can contains no milk products (most of the time it still does).  There are cheeses that contain no milk solids (like ricotta), but they still start with milk ingredients (whey).

My favorite definition of "imitation cheese" is:

Quotea fusion that generally includes tofu, calcium caseinate (a milk protein), rice starch, lechithin and various additives. It's a nondairy, nonfat, noncholesterol and nonflavor food that, for those who like cheese, is better left at the store.

Quote from: BadgerWell, that's not technically "cheese" then, is it?

Debate the technicality all day, but it still says cheese on the label.  And as your quote shows, soy-derived cheese may or may not contain milk ingredients, so the label becomes rather useful...

i shaZam! you not, i bought some firecrackers that said "danger.  flammable"

Better labeling would perhaps be to not use the word "cheese".

Non-dairy creamers (typically seaweed) and non-dairy dessert toppings (hydrogenated oils) are similar beasts to non-dairy [imitation] cheese...but government regulations regarding the labeling of cream prevent them from using the word "cream" to describe it.

Quote from: RoadstergalAnd as your quote shows, soy-derived cheese may or may not contain milk ingredients, so the label becomes rather useful...

The label saying "non-dairy" or "contains no milk products" is far more useful than a label saying "contains milk products."  Have we (as a culture) become so ignorant that we don't know that cheese is made from milk?  Hopefully we won't see this label showing up on cartons of milk.  

It seemed to me, that any civilization that had so far lost its head as to need to include a set of detailed instructions for the use in a package of toothpicks, was no longer a civilization in which I could live and stay sane.

That's the whole point - regardless of your feelings on the word, cheese can be a non-milk product.  *shrug*

Badger, I think you are right. We expect to be spoon fed EVERYTHING. Everyone ELSE is accountable for our ignorance, not us. If I spill hot coffee on me, it is the restaurants fault for not putting a "caution: hot cofee" label on it. If I buy peanut butter and I am allergic to peanuts, I can sue the company for not pointing out that peanut butter is made from peanuts.

And yet, if I go onto a motorcycle forum I am forced to use the search funtion. The world just isn't fair.  

The only things I can think of that we use a lot of that don't have ingredients in them are wood, milk, and water.  

All I ask from the corporations that run the entire galaxy is to please don't f with my wood, milk, and water.  

Now if you can't have dairy, nuts, or other food products because you are someone that genetics, evolution, and natural selection left behind, then I say too bad for you, but don't ask the world to police everything you put in your body for booby traps.

Quote from: Jake DNow if you can't have dairy, nuts, or other food products because you are someone that genetics, evolution, and natural selection left behind

Do you wear contacts or glasses?  Genetic reject.

Do you have to cook your meat?  Evolutionary backtracker.

...in Jake D's defense, if he does wear glasses or cook meat, he isn't going to  make other's accountable for it. For example, if he buys a package of raw hamburger in the store and eats it raw and gets sick. Is that his fault or the butcher's? Should the butcher put a label on it that says "please cook"? Most meat does have such a label, but really, is that necessary? If you are not smart enough to cook the meat, should you even be allowed to go to the store by yourself?

Of for those of us with glasses. I have'em. When I went to buy a motorcycle helmet and had to take them off to get the helmet on..what if I would have forced the helmet onto my head and broke my glasses? Should there be a warning label on the helmet saying "Please remove your glasses first"?  :dunno:

:lol:

I will not say whether or not I wear glasses or whether or not I cook meat.


You will never know!!!   :nana:

BTW: what does cooking meat have to do with evolution?  

And you left yourself open to continued attacks with re: natural selection.
