Hey, it'll only be 0.1% of the meal. If you die immediately afterwards, you can't blame the arsenic, as it was just a very very small percentage....... Standard denier lack of logic again I'm afraid........ Yeah, or let me add just a very small amount of arsenic to your food. Hey, it’ll only be 0.1% of the meal.

Let's see how many of you will own up to your stupid, ignorant rants a few more years down the track. Public outrage will ensure that quite a lot of your soulmates will be running for cover. You have my contempt. R2 & AGWD – ignorant morons. Let’s see how many of you will own up to your stupid, ignorant rants a few more years down the track.

If it's sensational stuff, it should be really good for you. right? Non-toxic and all that. Go on, try some. Pleeease!
