teen burned in kfc poutine mishap

[damngrumpy]

The food in question is served very hot from what I understand. I have Quebec relatives
and they actually eat this stuff. I know nothing about it as my levels are too high as it is.
Yes I missed part of it, and criticism warranted. The problem is that we cannot regulate
a plate of poutine because someone gets burned. The only remedy of regulation might
be that anyone under age cannot buy poutine without their parents being present.
If we start with food regulation for the normal food serving methods we will have a lot of
problems. We opened the door with peanut butter in schools. I understand that to a
degree because kids share lunches at times and that could be deadly with allergies.
Surely we don't have to have a temperature for the cooking of each dish.

When we were kids and got food that was too hot we used to just blow on it for a few minutes............no problem! :smile:

Bacteria and whatnot proliferates between 40 and 140 degrees F. So yeah, I'd prefer my cooked food to be above 140 and my salads n stuff below 40.
Meats in particular should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160.

Long story short.... having a seizure is a completely unpredictable event and there's no way in hell to 'seizure proof' the world. Hot food, hard floors, pointy fences, traffic, pools, bath tubs. No epileptic I know has ever been able to escape one or two bizarre injuries because of a seizure, and some end up dying. it's a sad fact of life, but a fact nonetheless.

As a self-proclaimed connoisseur of poutine, I know that it has to be hot. You can't protect everyone from everything. It
is a sad fact of life that people who are epileptic will occasionally be victims of circumstance. Usually,

will sit for a moment until the rest of your order is ready but there is no guarantee.
