25 * 0.5ug = 12ug is the upper bound for lead in Soylent reported by this article
12ug / 15ug = 1 serving of Soylent is 80% of the actionable dose for lead in a liter of drinking water
So 1.2 of Soylent servings could reach the EPA's actionable dose for lead in water. People will eat multiple servings of Soylent a day.
That's the problem. Millions of people are already living in places where water is scarce / becoming scarce. This would call for a mass exodus from the desert, an infeasibility for almost all and the communities they belong to. Workers would abandon local economies and have to enter ones that most likely have no room for them.
Chances are that the people that will need to abandon their homes do not have the economic means to do so nor have the skills to enter a new market and find work.
> That, and drinking water is a negligible proportion of water that people use domestically overall.
People need to bathe and wash their clothing / dishware as well.
> I agree with you that people a willing and should pay more for luxuries like lawns in the desert.
Ideally, that wouldn't be an option because regulations would be set to prevent excess waste of a vital resource.
Most higher organizations/clubs/associations/families engage in philanthropy and charity, most religions espouse the virtues or godliness of good will towards others and, again, most people who have the capacity to feel will agree that extending that empathy towards others is a good thing.
The point is most people, especially those who see things from a higher level socially and intellectually, recognize the value of compassion and selflessness.
Someone who balks at the suggestion that they have a responsibility as a good person to be considerate, who embodies the message of Ayn Rand's Anthem, might be considered immature. A shithead, even.
Most good and considerate people who aren't complete shitheads
People will pay a premium to keep their lawns green and if you can't afford to hydrate or bathe, tough.
People will die so people like this can continue living like they aren't in a desert: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/sns-wp-washpost-bc-calif-...

This was an autokilled post by another poster, if you have showdead on you might see it.
They usually do, it fits their vision of what a "worthy" recipient of benefits looks like. Relying on charity to provide social services would mean a significant portion of people would be cut out from receiving them, either due to policy or the lack of donations.
People have shown time and again that it does take action through central authority to enact societal change because people will not "change [their] allocation of charitable donations" accordingly or have an allocation of charitable donations at all.
Societal progress in the face of injustice takes action from society as a whole.
Fortunately, "no I don't want to give back to the society I take from" doesn't fly with the IRS.
Yes, if you subclass it.
> Can something else inherit from Entry?
Yes, it can be subclassed.
>Won't named touple have some of its own methods that my methods could have collided with
Yes and no, it has the "index" and "count" methods any tuple should have, which can easily be overridden by specifying them as attributes in the second argument to the contructor, through reassignment during initialization or method overriding.
>>> Entry = namedtuple("Entry", "id description amount")
>>> Entry(*line.split(','))
Entry(id='1', description='an entry', amount='99')

The lament of the transpiler
I guess I'm being oversensitive because I'm reading the OP as implying that the term "sexist" is thrown around inappropriately.
We got involved with Europe's affairs because we made a killing selling them military equipment to blow each other up. Then it started to seem as if the Nazis might take over the continent. To drive this point home, we sold weapons to the Nazis until 1941.
Pearl Harbor happened because we started an oil embargo with Japan.
Vietnam was a proxy war, it's inherently about not letting the enemy gain land or an ally in a certain territory.
There is something to gain behind every aggression and it is usually material and for personal profit to the those initiating it.
There really aren't other offerings online for this chemical and I doubt that the suppliers are doing back alley deals with research teams in the US.
Someone in the supply chain knows exactly what this compound is for. They know people are buying it to be consumed. They commissioned a foreign lab to have it produced. They could have found a pharm grade lab to produce it. They didn't, because the margins are high on quasi-illicit substances produced in Chinese labs.
It was a cheap synthesis to get tons of the stuff on the market quickly with a huge margin. It's certainly meant for human use.
It's not FDA approved and probably made in lab with the same stringent quality controls as the clandestine ones in China pumping out similar things.
The 98% purity thing shows that they weren't willing to put in the extra investment to run enough solvent washes / whatever to not poison their customers.
