plus I know of a doctor that watched his 4 year old choke to death on a hotdog & could not save him.
Sure - you can choke on anthing but WHY do people feel the need to prove a point by not cutting certain foods??? There is a list of dangerous foods for a reason - these foods are the size & shape to lodge easily in a child's windpipe & be extremely difficult to remove via heimlich etc.
Took the words right from my mouth... thank you!
Oh, and Lianne... you can loose the snarky attitude.
