antibacterial chemicals are bad in general as they provide evolutionary
pressure that encourages bugs to become stronger (what that Nitsczhze guy
said) and more resistant. As Monsanto (Phil Angell) told the New York
Times: "Our interest is selling as much of it [biotech food] as possible.
Assuring safety is the government's job. Now get big government off our
backs."
