I can see both sides of the coin here. On one hand I hate all the crazy lawsuits and the government getting involved to pass even more crazy laws. On the other hand I want to know what’s in the food I buy. I have a hard time believing that, using Pam as an example, there couldn’t be some long term effects from consuming petroleum, butane, etc., even in small quantities. There’s warning about inhalation of gasoline fumes causing cancer at the gas station, why not be clear that the same ingredient is in something that’s meant to be eaten.

The food companies also seem to be spending an awful lot of money to hide the fact that they’re using genetically engineered foods in their products. Whether you, or anyone else, agrees with the reasons I don’t want to eat the GM foods, I think it’s proper to include the info in the ingredients list and let me make my own decision.

The propellants evaporate immediately at room temp, much less the oven........

What makes you think you actually consume the propellant -- unless you spray the Pam directly down your throat.

Petroleum gas, propane and butane are gasses! They don't stick to the surface, like the oil does. They're simply used to physically propel the oil out of the can and toward the surface. The gasses enter the air...and quickly disperse and degrade.

All aerosol sprays have propellants! Be they insecticides, room air deodorants, paints, waxes, whatever. You've used all these things, right? And they're perfectly safe to use inside the house.

Don’t know much about chemistry, gases, and evaporation, do you? And “petroleum” isn’t one of the propellant gases, you made that up.

There is nothing harmful about GM foods that I am aware of, and you failed to note anything.

So why are you being all alarmist in ignorance?

you need to pay closer attention to time lines....is inhaling Gasoline fumes good for you????of course not....will it harm you??? yeah, probably 75 years after sticking your head in a gas tank. The American life span has been increasing for many years. Eventually, everything that you do will add to your demise but changing your way of life to include “being green”, eating tofu, buying an electric car (?) , championing windmills to produce electricity....won’t gain you 10 seconds of additional life.....so why PAY to do it???
