    That’s free-market naïveté . No one has the time to be an expert in every field to always make the informed choice.

    Do you read the labels on tangerines to check which antibiotics were used against citrus-greening? Do you even know if that’s something you should be worrying about? Is Anti-Microbial Resistance something to legitimately be afraid of when buying tangerines?

    (I leave this as an exercise for the so-called informed reader…)

    The story about “Carl Twinly” is a work of fiction. However, the mugshot shown above is real. It was taken in 2008 and shows a woman who was arrested in Middleton, Ohio. According to Fox 19, she had been hired to dress up as a cow to promote a local haunted trail. She was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct after she allegedly got drunk, chased some children, and interrupted traffic.

    Fox 19 reported: “A Middletown woman is behind bars, charged with disorderly conduct after she was arrested while wearing a cow suit … Police say Michelle Allen was getting in the way of traffic and chasing children while wearing her cow suit. She’s also accused of urinating on a neighbor’s front porch.”
