The Vegan Dessert Question of the Week!

First off, congratulations to last week's winner: "g." He knew the story behind whole, 2%, and skim milk. Here is his answer:

"In two percent milk, two percent of the total contents of the milk is fat. It does not mean that the milk contains only two percent of the fat that it normally contains. Whole cow's milk is around four percent fat. So two percent has about fifty percent of the fat that normal milk does.

As you can see, I've asked myself the same question before. Where's the 50% milk?

By the way, did you hear about the cow that produces low fat milk, straight from the udder? Pretty wild. "

As for today's question, it is a bit more abstract:

It is illegal to speed. On some highways, this means it is illegal to drive over 55 miles/hour. On others, it is illegal to drive over 65 miles/hour. Maybe some, it is illegal to drive over 80 miles/hour. I just went out to my car, and the speedometer goes up to 120 miles/hour.

Why?

It is certainly not legal anywhere in the United States to drive this fast. Why are there not regulations to limit how fast cars can go?

I'm sure Porsches, Ferraris, and many other cars can go significantly faster than my faithful Oldsmobile. To me, this doesn't make sense. The reason speeders are ticketed in the first place is that speeding is dangerous. It leads to accidents, injuries, and sometimes death. Rather than relying on police officers to catch speeders, why not just regulate cars so that they cannot speed? Set a cap of 80 miles/hour or something around there. I'm sure this will upset loads of high schoolers, weavers, and car aficionados, but to me, it is a matter of common sense.

Please give me your thoughts on this tangent. There is no correct answer, though the best commenter, as always, will be rewarded with a nice, warm handshake.

Thank you in advance for participating.
