It's sad that the commenter allows his children to go cyberpsycho on virtual bystanders but won't allow them to see a nipple.

Having sex is probably something you will do in your life, mass murder is not.

And just as hitting several hookers in downtown los Santos with a virtual bolide won't make you a deranged carkiller, being exposed to a booby won't make you a sex-driven pervert.

On driving factor is the (over)use of antibiotics in animal agriculture. It's weird the article touches this issue in just one sentence...

"Over 70 percent of antibiotics sold in the United States are given to livestock, including cattle, which translates to significant human health impacts."

"Unlike with human medicine, however, antibiotics are often fed to cattle as a preventative measure, rather than as a treatment."

"Antibiotic resistance in cattle does not only affect the health of the cattle, it impacts people as well because many of the antibiotics given to cattle are also used in human medicine. Eating meat or consuming milk from an animal with antibiotic-resistant bacteria may infect a human with that same resistant bacteria"
