Why We Should Ban Food

Ban food?
Which food?
All of it, probably.

Why we should ban food

Oh yes, and medicines.

They're just too darn dangerous to produce, that's why.  Quite apart from the risks of various kinds of toxins getting in your food and killing you, think of all the dangers associated with the production and distribution of food.  Tractors, fertilizer, diesel fuel, - I'd ban those just for starters.

I hope to show by a perfectly logical chain of argument that if we ban the industries most likely to trigger disasters then we must stop eating.

In a list of industrial installations likely to cause a major explosion I would put nuclear power stations somewhere near the bottom.  Here's why.  Nuclear power is so dangerous that the need for vigilance and preparedness is blindingly obvious.  But the food industry?  I'm joking, right?  Er, no actually.

It is fairly common knowledge that the manufacture, distribution and use of explosives is risky.

Putting food on the world's table to feed so many billions of hungry mouths can't be done without modern technology.  That means, in the main - artificial fertilizer needs to be manufactured and distributed.
