cook before eating

I've noticed the label before, but it never really bothered me. Maybe I'm just in one those "moods". The frozen pizza box, and the dire warning: "Cook Before Eating". The frozen eggrolls and Lean Cuisines remind you to "Cook Thoroughly". On the other hand, the vegetables have no advice against eating frozen broccoli, in fact I am reminded not to overcook the corn lest all the nutrients be destroyed. The fish doesn't have any reminders about not eating it while it is still frozen, either, which I think is a dire oversight, a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Some warning labels are appropriate, and I know it's cliche to comment on the loss of common sense in this world, but still...cook before eating?

What would your warning label say?
I am going to spend some time thinking about mine and get back to you.

My warning label? For frozen foods or for my own self?
:)

"Prone to excessive self-deprecation followed by fits of arrogance. Handle with care."
Or, for frozen food: "Cook before eating or put 1-800-DENTIST on speed-dial"
