Its not whether you get sick or not. Its about having something available- anything. You treat a matter of survival like a luxury problem - which it is not. Without fertilizer human civilization is over. Just because you can engage in a "hobby" version of something as a luxury, does not mean you can have any valid contribution to the discussion for those unable to afford the luxury. And if you contribute anyway- you are naive or mercilessly willing to sacrifice millions in the 3 digits. Which makes this one of the more murderous ideologies- that ever roamed the earth- just because it has spots on the apples on the flyers does not make it so.
