Someone draw the line for me, when does personal responsibility for one’s own health lead to labeling everything a carcinogen?

Why would anyone assume that a typically sold food (hot dog, bacon etc) causes cancer?

I only found out by looking at the link just now. That’s how important labeling is

I am an automotive enthusiast. Nearly every fluid or component I buy has a label on it per Prop 65. I have been wearing gloves all along. What’s the intent?

I guess it's that should not remove the gloves when you're working with them?

As if anyone would. My point is we cannot legislate around reckless or stupid people. It’s an exercise in futility.

Everything isn't a carcinogen. Carcinogens are carcinogens, and they absolutely should be labeled when used.

Walking around California there are literally prop 65 warnings everywhere. Some stupidly high percent of products I buy come with a prop 65 warning. It sure feels like everything causes cancer, at least in the state of California. The warnings have lost all meaning and I don’t even live in California. It just makes California look paranoid and stupid.

Many (Californians) disparage the notion of individual responsibility, and see things as collective concerns.

Don’t need to draw the line. For better or worse, California has already passed prop 65. This is just suing for the law to be enforced.
