I highly doubt it. But go ahead, find one 'out of character'

Complete bullshit. You talk as if any salt could be used to
adulterate any food when actually the only example is lead
acetate, which is not even a good example since it was commonly
used as a sugar substitute.

Just as fine as fentanyl, or a mix. They are both highly
POISONUS and DANGEROUS compounds.

Depending on circumstances. But really, the idea that in an
'unregulated' market food will be poisones is probably the most
stupid thing I've read in this list.
So again, are you hacked or what.

I can look that up. And I do happen to have some sort of lab
laying around, go figure.
Also, adulterating vodka with methanol is sheer nonsense.
Methanol is indeed a poison. It's added to ethanol to make
'denaturated' i.e. poisonous stuff. It would probably be better
to adulterate it with gasoline...
Why don't we follow your incredibly clever line of 'thinking'
to its more general conclusions? Are you proposing to ban
forever any sort of knife? Very dangerous weapons you know.
They are sold everywhere, with no regulations.
But wait, aren't you also pro-guns or something like that?
Seriously Mirimir, WTF.
