30. Thanks for the sarcasm. Yeah, the "balance" between acute and chronic health issues

There's an acute but occasional risk of food poisoning that is relatively easily traceable to the corporate sources for liability purposes. On the other hand, there's the chronic long term problems of bad diet and cancer, etc., which is naturally much harder to trace to its sources. The usual responses like irradiation and chemical spraying at best reduce the short term acute risk but tend to increase or cause long term chronic damage, but no liability or at least delayed and tangential liability risk, so its a winner for corporate profit expectations TODAY (the only time period most corpse "live" for)
