Normally I would agree, but the lobbyist said that someone could "drink a whole quart of it" without any ill effect.

I get the sentiment, and it makes for good TV, but you could also drink a whole quart of urine without any ill effect and you can be sure I would decline that opportunity.
Yeah, but if you JUST SAID you would be perfectly willing to do so to make a point, it (rightly) damages your credibility.
You're not a urine lobbyist, though, are you?
I could drink a glass of urine without any ill effect.

That doesn't mean I am waiting beside the urinal with my coffee cup ready.

Lol, I posted the same thing at nearly the exact same time.. amusing how the mind converges on certain things when you think of "Gross things to drink".
You're not trying to force your urine into substantial parts of the food chain.

And you're not lobbying (paying off governments at state and federal levels) to prevent that from showing up on food labels.

All of which Monsanto is trying to do with their products.
