In this case, we create a (n awful tasting) biological blank slate which, given opportunity, salmonella easily inhabits. This kind of stuff is why rural America votes Republican, despite Democratic protestations that it is against their interests. The left does not understand what other people value or simply dismiss those values as not rational.

Your choices can and do impact others. When you get sick, you use the healthcare system. This will absolutely have an inflationary impact on me. It will either increase my insurance price, my taxes, or my self-paid healtcare prices.
