I think the warning is real, but this is nothing new and macdonalds obviously need to put it into a disclaimer so you dont get a bunch of fat macdonalds freaks developing cancer and accusing MacD's of wrong doing.
 
nah, i don't think it's real. McDonalds doesn't sell "Cooked Potatoes" AFAIK.
 
Some of you see some sort of warning here? I see a blank post...:confused:

Los Angeles - Citing a recent Swedish study showing that deep fried foods could be a cause of cancer, two California environmental groups are planning to sue McDonalds and Burger King to force them to put a toxic warning label on their servings of the deep fried potato chips, the Los Angeles Times reported on Wednesday.

The lawsuits by Earth World Watch and another group of environmentalists and academics aim to force the world's largest sellers of what Americans call French fries to either include the warning or reformulate the ingredients, the report said.

The actions stem from a recent Swedish government study that found high levels of the carcinogen acrylamide in fatty starchy foods cooked at high temperatures, such as fries.

In one test, McDonald's French fries were found to contain 300 times the amount of acrylamide allowed by the Environmental Protection Agency for a glass of water, the report said.

The groups have notified California's attorney general of their intent to sue under California's Proposition 65, which requires manufacturers to warn consumers of toxic chemicals in their products.

According to the report, the attorney general's office is studying the matter and is considering filing its own lawsuit.

But a spokesperson for Burger King said the suits don't "make sense" because the discovery of acrylamide in food is so new. McDonalds argued that the suit was "inappropriate" and would result in a "flood" of warning labels on all baked and fried foods. - Sapa-DPA

ANY fastfood should have a label on it then:
"this food is bad, do not ingest into digestive system. warning - toxic"
 
Cooking food at high temperatures causes formation of carcinogens. Period. It's true, but it's the same for most foods, really (obviously to different degrees)
