LMAO, how naive

And yet they still cant eliminate that god awful vomit-tasting chemical

Pronouns aren't a right, are they?

Yes, people keep saying that, but you have some distribution of lead levels across population and getting from 10th to 12th percentile is probably fine.

Clearly lots of people eat chocolate. Do you observe any ill effects?

She still has only 2 two toes on one foot, but now has 8 toes on the other. It averages out, I suppose.

No he did not. Sounds like you read a one paragraph summary and not the source material. Open a book. He was more about moral restraint and not having children until you could afford them, with nothing about people killing themselves by being stupid. The guy was probably a racist, was against birth control, and certainly didn't foresee mechanized farming, but there are small nuggets of gold in his shit, and you not even reading it to critically assess it to find them, then making up things he didn't say does you no favors. He was way off base on a lot of things, probably bigoted, oversimplistic and unrealistic, but not everything he said was ridiculous, and he didn't say what you're ascribing to him at all. The 3rd grade poster assignment you got your information from was inadequate. Do some more reading.

Jesus inspired numerous genocides. You don't seem to understand your own point.

"Thinning the herd of dumb people" is literally something he advocated for.

Malthus inspired eugenic programmes.

That's not how I read Malthus at all. Nothing about religious stupidity in it. He was super-religious himself and literally a priest or something. Maybe you need to expand your library so you have more suitable adjectives.

They can't prove that a low dose is safe. That's not the same as saying that a low dose is proven to be dangerous.

Update - just heard; they found the cat. Result!

This is literal malthusianism. Disgusting.

"While it is not possible to prevent or remove lead entirely from foods, the levels in food can be reduced. By law, food manufacturers have a responsibility to implement controls as needed to significantly minimize or prevent exposure to chemical hazards—including lead."

This is why nearly everything in California has the Prop 65 warning on it. People are correct that having no lead would be preferable but its literally not possible currently.

I understand that you moron. I'm saying it is not physically possible for any product to have 0% lead content, ie, be 100% lead free.

You yourself are not lead free. You were born with lead in your body. You will die with it in your body, and hopefully it never reaches a concentration that does serious harm to your body.

I don't understand what you don't get.

That’s what happens when you keep the church on the water.

There is no acceptable level of lead, stop playing interference for the shitty job you do for a shitty employer.

Dont bother, these morons dont understand statistics.

No shit Sherlock, of course there shouldn't be any. But it is not physically or statistically possible to be 100% free of it. What do you not understand about this? There is no absolutes. Hell the human body naturally has lead and plutonium and other heavy metals in it. The difference is that there is an acceptable amount that won't harm you.

There shouldn't be lead, or plutonium in chocolate. If it can be 100% free of plutonium, it can be 100% free of lead. That's a good thought experiment for your feeble mind.

How am I wrong then? Go ahead ill wait. Either you do not understand what I am talking about or you dont understand statistics.

Who cares what you do, you are still wrong about removing lead.

Cadmium, Cadburry. Coincidence?

The acceptable dose of lead is none. Zero. Zilch. There is no acceptable dose of lead.

Are you stupid or do you not understand statistics? You can mandate a company guarantee their products be 99% free of contamination, or 99.9% free, or even as high 99.99999% free. But you can never guarantee something be 100% free of contamination. There is always risk. The best you can do is mandate a product be within safe limits. In the real world you can get functionally close to 0% or 100% but you can never achieve them.
