Mac OS X promotes heart disease and cancer

OK, I understand that this is just a modern version of the icon that has been in use for the Stickies application for a while now.
But shouldn't Apple care more about our health, and perhaps change "Eggs" and "Milk" to "Fruit" and "Veggies"? That would be a much more modern subliminal message to send using an application icon, instead of the 1950's -era "eggs are part of a hearty breakfast" and "milk is nutritious" malarkey that is sadly perpetuated to this day.
I'd dig it.
If I were a better artist, I'd create an alternate icon to replace it. For now, I'm just going to keep my icons small, so I don't see what they say. :-)
