Who hasn't heard of the tendency for people to say that if too much of
something is bad, then zero is even better; or even its twin slothful
induction that if a little is good, then a lot is better. You twit, the
research shows that TOO MUCH is bad, and that TOO LITTLE can also be
bad. You've no concept of moderation.

There are also potential health risks associated with eating produce:
...[F]ederal health surveillance of food-borne diseases from
1993 to 1997 found 2,751 outbreaks. Those outbreaks totaled
12,537 individual cases involving fruits and vegetables,
compared with 6,709 cases involving meat.

"soy industry." So is the "grain industry." So is the "water industry."
