Resolved Question: Should the government legislate the size and shape of a hot dog?

Yes this is a serious question believe it or not. ****************************************************************** Pediatricians call for a choke-proof hot dog Nutritionists have long warned of the perils of hot dogs: fat, sodium and preservatives to name a few. Now, the American Academy of Pediatrics wants foods like hot dogs to come with a warning label — not because of their nutritional risks but because they pose a choking hazard to babies and children. Better yet, the academy would like to see foods such as hot dogs "redesigned" so their size, shape and texture make them less likely to lodge in a youngster's throat. More than 10,000 children under 14 go to the emergency room each year after choking on food, and up to 77 die, says the new policy statement, published online today in Pediatrics. About 17% of food-related asphyxiations are caused by hot dogs. "If you were to take the best engineers in the world and try to design the perfect plug for a child's airway, it would be a hot dog," says statement author Gary Smith, director of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. "I'm a pediatric emergency doctor, and to try to get them out once they're wedged in, it's almost impossible." The Consumer Product Safety Commission requires labels on toys with small parts alerting people not to give them to kids under 3. Yet there are no required warnings on food, though more than half of non-fatal choking episodes involve food, Smith says. "No parents can watch all of their kids 100% of the time," Smith says. "The best way to protect kids is to design these risks out of existence." Though Smith says he doesn't know exactly how someone would redesign a hot dog, he's certain that some savvy inventor will find a way. Janet Riley, president of the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council, supports the academy's call to better educate parents and caregivers about choking prevention. "Ensuring the safety of the foods we service to children is critically important for us," Riley says. But Riley questions whether warning labels are needed. She notes that more than half of hot dogs sold in stores already have choking-prevention tips on their packages, advising parents to cut them into small pieces. "As a mother who has fed toddlers cylindrical foods like grapes, bananas, hot dogs and carrots, I 'redesigned' them in my kitchen by cutting them with a paring knife until my children were old enough to manage on their own," Riley says. The Food and Drug Administration, which has authority to recall products it considers "unfit for food," plans to review the new statement, spokeswoman Rita Chappelle says. Given the health risks of obesity, pediatrician Alan Greene, author of Feeding Baby Green, says, "The last thing we need is to redesign candy and junk food with cool shapes, so we can give them to kids even younger." http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2010-02-22-1Achoke22_ST_N.htm

Resolved Question: Do you think it's right the Obamas spent $120,000 on lodging and $500,000 on Air Force One for their VACATION?

So for 10 days in Hawaii, the Obama's on lodging ALONE will be $40,000. It is a given that the two mansions occupied in this taxpayer now pays for the Obama playmates and any relative not in Kenya vacation will also be $40,000 for the 10 days. Grand total on lodging alone is $120,000. You would purchase 2 homes in Wadsworth, Ohio for that kind of money and throw a kegger besides to celebrate! AS IN SPENT TAXPAYER MONEY!!! Bush, Reagan? THEY WENT TO THEIR OWN HOUSES FOR VACATIONS

Resolved Question: Wedding with a mountain view by the Appalachians?

My fiance and I want to get married outside in front of a really good mountain view, and we were thinking of camping for most of the time, and probably just rent out a conference room at some lodge or resort maybe. We live by the Appalachian Mountains and we want to find a place there, plus a place between Ohio and Maryland, like a halfway point since our families are scattered all over the place. Does anyone know a good place like this? It has to be somewhere directly between Maryland and Ohio... I don't want to make it a burden for our family members to go too far down south or north.

Resolved Question: How can I find this boy I met camping?

I just went to Tar Hallow, which is like a camping/hunting place. I met these two boys, who told us their names were Kara and Tara (Yeah, we knew they were lieing) We (we being me and the 3 other girls I was with and the two boys) went up to a big hill and climbed up it. We stayed up there swinging from a vine for bout an hour, then went down to the Lodge to eat Lunch. The boy im trying to find went hunting after that. The two boys kept stealing my Kermit the frog beanie annd the boy who im trying to find had a white beanie. The boy Im trying to find is 13 years old, his birthday's is on August 15th and he lives in Virginia. I live in Ohio. BTW im including the information like he had a white beanie, we were swinging on a vine) because if by some Miracle he reads this, he might contact me. I dont have any information on how too contact him, no phone number or email adress. I figure I'll probably go back next year and he might be there, but probably not. He was just sooo nice, I really wish I could stay friennds with him, he said we were Beanie Buddys. :( I really doubt if I will ever see him again, but Im just hoping I will.
