Not arguing. I agree with you. Editorial in C&E News just mentioned
the stupidity of using antibiotics to help fatten up farm animals.

I had a lot of dealings with food packaging issues when doing regulatory
consulting in plastics. There were a lot of issues but the fact is that
people are killed by stuff in food, not the packaging.

Yeah, but there is acute toxicity, and chronic toxicity. Not every
poison strikes you down like a bolt of lightening.

All considered when evaluating toxicity. Some long term tests like
carcinogenicity cost millions to run. I've seen non-food contact
materials dropped from the market because testing costs exceeded any
potential profit.
