A proposition too far

Now that even curry roux carries P65 warning labels, I can’t help but think that someone has gone a wee bit too far.

I suppose it’s imaginative enough to consider that spices like turmeric could be grown in soil within range of factories causing run off from lead or other substances, or that such could effect irrigation water—and we should all really care about that sort of thing.

But it seriously feels like we’ve hit the point where companies just put a a Proposition 65 warning on everything, because the effort to prove otherwise in the state of California would be prohibitive. I can easily imagine a Space Balls can of air carrying one…because if the can doesn’t contain something on the list, the air probably does! Oh, someone should totally meme that.
