A litigious society ruins dinner
Re: "Oyster illness a deadly rarity," Page 1, Nov. 1.
Diabetics are at risk from too much or too little sugar. How soon might the FDA start regulating (rationing?) sugar? Peanuts?
In this litigious society it is becoming common to blame others for lack of personal responsibility for knowing one's own health risks, leading to more and more government regulation.
I'm sure there are other issues that kill more than 15 people annually to occupy the FDA's agenda. I don't even eat raw oysters but love to watch those who enjoy them so much!
