Back in the 1990s, Proctor & Gamble came out with a fat substitute called Olestra (also known as Olean), and for a while, people ate it up in products like WOW potato chips by Frito Lay. It fell out of favor once people started realizing that trips to the bathroom seemed to happen.... very soon after ingesting these fat-free treats, often accompanied by some cramping. For a while, the FDA required warning labels on Olestra-containing foods, but not since 2003. Despite the fact that it also negates the body's ability to absorb essential vitamins, Olestra is still fully legal in the U.S., which is why you should always read packaging. However, it is banned in Canada and all the countries in the European Union.
Foods containing arsenic
Arsenic is one of the World Health Organization's top ten chemicals of "major health concern." "Long-term exposure to high levels of arsenic is associated with higher rates of skin, bladder, and lung cancers, as well as heart disease," reports the FDA. The FDA has released statements about the presence of arsenic in rice, apples, and all organic fruits. But unlike the countries of the European Union, the U.S. has no ban on arsenic in our food.

I thought this was illegal across US
Spanking in school
Any kind of physical force used as a means of discipline (slapping, spanking, paddling, etc.) is known legally as "corporal punishment." If you were never spanked in school, perhaps it's because you grew up in New Jersey, where corporal punishment in schools has been illegal since 1867. However, corporal punishment is permitted in the following states: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Wyoming.
Spanking at home
Spanking in school is legal in many states, but spanking at home is legal in all states. So is kicking, slapping, and whipping, as long as it's considered "reasonable discipline" by a parent or caretaker. What is reasonable discipline? That's determined by case law, so if you're accused of "child abuse" when you thought you were engaging in "reasonable discipline," your local judge will get to decide what's reasonable and what isn't.
Drinking booze...even if you're under-age
The minimum age for legally drinking alcohol is 21 in all 50 states, but there are loopholes in all but five (those are Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, New Hampshire, and West Virginia). For instance, there are:
29 states where minors can drink legally on private property with parental presence and consent
6 states where minors can drink on private property without parental presence and consent
25 states where minors can drink for religious reasons
16 states where minors can drink for medical reasons
11 states where minors can drink for educational purposes (think: culinary school)
