However if someone can very easily overdose on these things that they start waving a gun around and shooting their wife who is trying to summon help for him then maybe things need to be looked at more carefully. Is the clerk even required to tell the dude to only eat a fifth of a cookie? I kind of thought that was just the clerk doing a "by the way" thing to cover their own ass.

If eating a high amount of trans fats could cause one to pull out a gun and start firing randomly then yes, I also think the cashier/server/whathaveyou should be required to educate the customer on that very real possibility and probably make sure not to serve him two hamburgers if one hamburger has the possibility of going insane. This is especially true if most of your customers walk in thinking hamburgers are 100% safe and can never make you do shit like that no matter how many you eat.

If the state wants to get into the business of making money off this shit then they should get into the business of investing some of that money back into making sure as many people as possible are doing so safely.
What regulations are in place to stop .000000001% of drunk people from chugging down a big bottle of whiskey and then whipping out his gun and shooting people?

What regulations are in place to stop .00000001% of drivers from having a bad day and snapping and running someone over in a fit of rage?
