Once a MLM agent came to my door promoting some "non-toxic" cleaning solution. Turns out, some of those guys will drink their cleaning products when asked. smh.

I agree with the general sentiment and not trusting a word a lobbyist is paid to say, but this is just TV theatrics and absurd drama. Just because he says it’s safe does not mean that he should be able to drink a glass of it. It’s like saying to prove that paracetamol is safe, one must be willing to eat a 500g serving on TV.

Give him food that was grown with the recommended dosage of the fertiliser, and ask him to eat, then we are talking sense.

He explicitly stated he could drink a quart of it and it wouldn’t harm you.

If you take the title at face value, the lobbyist explicitly states that it is safe to drink. Asking him to drink up is no longer particularly extreme to me.

Some historic theatrics
