That's most unfortunate ... millions of your neighbours eat XXXXXX and metabolize it without any difficulty whatsoever.
Government as nanny should be unnecessary.
Not "should be". "Is".
When folks start ranting on about XXXXXX being "poison" ... those who are inclined in the direction of "nanny state" tend to start trying to get XXXXXX banned ... and those who hear "poison" and think in terms of phosgene, organophosphates, or heavy metals are inclined to go along with the nanny-state crowd.
Jus' sayin' ...
The whole reason government started regulating what goes into our mouths is because of products laced with poison and radioactive elements. Some people will sell anything to make a buck, even items that kills their fellow human beings.
All you have to do is look at what China markets in its products. Killer drywall, anyone?
