    To answer the health question, poor sanitary technique can kill you. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/0 ... 52469.html Not saying it's likely, but there are definitely nasty bugs capable of growing in a room-temperature anaerobic container.

    Green wingnuttery... check. Corporate overlords... check. Supreme court bribery... check. "How dare they patent a product they developed"... check. Just another rational Ars discussion.

    Farmer’s Supreme Court fight to limit Monsanto seed patents looks bleak
