    Yes. Corn Flakes might not, but Kellog's itself will.

      No idea how to quantify that either way. The tradition of the first lady finding some cause to trumpet is about the last government action I'm worried about, be it in terms of effectiveness or cost as in the grand scheme it's meaningless. Worst case maybe I'd just consider it some positive PR. My main point is that people have to be kidding me with this whole rib thing. I mean, seriously?
      I wish I am able to live long enough to do all the things I was attributed to.

        Yes. They'll change their name to Kalamazoo or something and go on with business as usual.

          Sure. The Banks survived, didn't they? Can't get any worse then what they did.

            Killing someone? Or dozens of people? Not worse than stealing and lying? Wow.

              Yeah, you're probably right. But stealing and lying is a close second. And killing one-12 people or millions of people's livelihood's is a tough call.

                  Do you really think that the financial collapse didn't cost some people their lives? I'll bet it was more than 50, but we'll never know.

                      You mean like Ford Motor Company? Or Tylenol? Or the Tobacco Industry? Businesses kill people everyday and survive. (that doesnt make them evil just proving the flaw in your argument)

                      Hell, I bet if you looked you could find 50 people who died from a Kelloggs product every year. You can find 50 people that died from ANYTHING in a given year

                        Legitimately funny line from Gail Collins:

                        One thing that never changes in Washington is the difference in metabolism between the House and Senate. Have you ever watched pet-rehabilitation shows like “The Dog Whisperer”? The House is the deranged Pomeranian that yelps and throws itself against the window and tears up the upholstery 24/7. The Senate, meanwhile, is like a narcoleptic Great Dane you can hardly rouse for dinner.

                          But would you rather millions of people have nothing than Joe Shmoe being dead?

                          It's easy to compare one man's death vs. mere impoverishment. It's another to compare millions in poverty to one man's death.

                          Either way, Kelloggs survives without a doubt. May need to rebrand itself, but 50 deaths are a drop in the bucket. Even at $10,000,000 per death, that's only $500,000,000 in damages. For a company with billions in revenue every year, meh.

                            Jack in the Box killed something like 4 kids and made hundreds of people sick and they are still around.

                                It would also hit their revenue stream, though.

                                Then again, they may be insured.
