Why you shouldn't mix chemicals in the science lab?

Unless you know what chemicals you are mixing, and what kinds of chemical reactions they are going to have, you don't know what will happen when you mix chemicals. There are some chemicals which, when mixed, will release a very deadly poisonous gas. There are other chemicals which, when mixed, will explode or burst into flames. Even aside from that, chemicals in a science lab are there for some reason. Someone obtained those chemicals for the lab and intends to do something with them. They are not there to play around with at random.

Should fast food have warning labels?

There are both pros and cons to the warning labels on fried foods: PROS -Sharpens the awareness of the public -Let's people know how unhealthy the food really is and makes them think before they eat - Prevents people from over eating because they are more aware of what they consume -Would eventually bring down the problem of global obesity and possibly fix the stereotype that all Americans are overweight -Could possibly save people's lives! They would not consume too much trans-fat or cholesterol that could block their arteries and cause many heart problems -Would make people healthier overall -Consumers need more information about the foods they eat CONS -Consumers are responsible for what they take into their bodies; the food businesses shouldn't have to tell them -Obese children could be healthier if their parents felt like making them healthy meals, but many are lazy and just get take-out -Warning labels have been on cigarettes for decades, yet people still smoke. Why, then, would it be different for fried foods? People would eat them anyway. -If a consumer cared enough about what he was eating, he would look up the fat content online or ask for more details about what he was eating In my opinion, yes, fried foods SHOULD have warning labels.
