ACSH Sues Organic Bread

All right, we admit we've added one more lawsuit to an already litigious universe, but we did it for a good reason: to draw attention to absurd California regulations.

Have you noticed that nearly every square inch of California is now covered with stickers warning you that the state of California is aware of "known" carcinogens on the premises? Thank Proposition 65, a regulation under which anything that can even plausibly be called a cancer risk to lab rats at incredibly high doses must be decked out in this fashion.

Of course, if you're going to label everything that could conceivably be called a carcinogen, shouldn't even natural things such as organic bread be labeled? That's where the idea for the lawsuit began...
