This was a very interesting ediotrial about the government regulating the shape of a hot dog. Thee FDA is trying to chnage the shape so kids don't choke on it. The idea of this came from 2006 when there was aprroximately 11-13 hot dog choking deaths. The author of this editorial feels that the shape should not be changed because kids ate approximately 1.8billion hotdogs and with only 11 dying the risk rate is incredible small. He goes on to say that crossing the street and riding a bike have much higher risk rates than eating hot dogs.
I agree with this editorial and think that the government should not change the shape of a hot dog. The risk is too small and many Americans including me would be very dissapointed if the classic hot dog shape was significantly altered. I think it would be more affective if this information was posted on the package that way parents could choose to let there kids eat them or not.
