Warnings...
This kind of subject whets the appetite. In front of me is the package for
a frozen pizza.
"COOKING INSTRUCTIONS: Cook before eating."
Doesn't this invoke images of the one-in-a-million nincompoop who would
otherwise chomp down on a hard frozen pizza? Doesn't it make you want to
run to the Darwin Awards?
Currently, the planet holds an estimated 6.72 billion people. If we pass
out 6.72 billion frozen pizzas stripped of the words "cook before eating"
and one in a million chomps down on an icy pizza and die of e. coli as a
result--let us consider that our gene pool might be ever so slightly
improved. And other species with an equal inherent right to exist on this
planet might have a smidgen more ecosystem for themselves.
Extra warnings that self-medicating based upon information in an open edit
website just might not be absolutely accurate? Just what is our moral duty
here?
At the San Diego Zoo last week I watched pandas. The world needs more room
for pandas.
