Well, yes, but after the year-old guest of honor does the traditional
cake smashing, no one is going to eat it anyway--so a cake is wasted
whether there's an edible back-up available or not. If I were wont to
attend birthday parties for one-year olds, I'd be thrilled to see a
second one--cake being the only reason to attend such an event.

This brings to mind one of those horrors that is hard to avoid - being
handed a cake or biscuit when out visiting, commenting politely on how nice
it is, then being told proudly (AFTER you've eaten it) that Snotleigh made
it. Shudder.
This is not really hard to avoid if you avoid visiting
people with kids.
However, there are some possible replies. If you can
train yourself to vomit at will, and it is possible to learn
this skill, upchucking it on their living room carpet would
probably be an interesting non-verbal response. Even
better if you snarl as you leave "I'm heading for the
hospital emergency room just in case. Expect to hear from
my attorney!"
Verbal ones might include:
* Did you supervise everything the sprog put into it? Some
poisons are undetectable and slow acting, you know.
* Does it have any communicable diseases that you know of?
* Has it been trained to wash its hands after taking a crap?
Of course, merely eating a product prepared by a
unsupervised sprog is not _necessarily_ dangerous, but it
certainly _can_ be.
Even supposedly intelligent adults manage to cause food
poisoning in others by leaving dishes containing chicken,
etc. to incubate bacteria at room temperature. Or they
serve dishes containing what they thought were "fresh
mushrooms".
If course, if want to consider further out possibilities,
there are other hazards in visiting households with
children, especially where one or both the parents are
military or ex-military. Many of these are probably
understandably loathed by their children, so you should
learn to listen for the sounds of weapons being loaded and
cocked, the hissing of fuses, packages that tick, etc. :-)
Now sure, the kids may be only after the parents, and you as
a guest could just end up as what the military calls
"collateral damage" when it kills civilians "accidentally".
Let alone "deliberately". Remember Mei Lai? Why should
children with military parents think that this is immoral or
unethical? :-)
Terrorists do the same, of course. When Tim McVeigh bombed
the Federal Building in Oklahoma city he obviously didn't
give a damn about civilian casualties. Nor did the
terrorists who took out the WTC on 9/11 for that matter.
If you worry about either of the above broad possibilities,
and there are others, why are you visiting people with
children in the first place?
Of course, even adults can be dangerous. Considering the
lies that Ken Ehrett <ya...@olg.com> has told about others
why would any sane human ever want to visit him?
There are a lot of psychopaths in the general population,
you know, possibly as high as one in 100 individuals.
IMHO, people who lie about others they haven't met and don't
know should _never_ be trusted.
