[title]Dangerous Delicacies
[description]Health inspectors are raising concerns over the edibility of the @@ANIMAL@@, which have become one of @@NAME@@'s most popular dishes.
[validity]Must have the @@ANIMAL@@ as their favorite main course

[option]"As you can see here, the @@ANIMAL@@ emits dangerous toxins from its protuberance barbs, and these toxins can cause someone to go gobbledygook..." drones health inspector @@RANDOMNAME_1@@ as @@HE@@ carefully examines a filet of fish. "We must ban these poisons immediately. We must also ought to carefully inspect every food that goes to our plates and ban all foods that can pose as health risks, for the good of @@NAME@@'s health!"
[effect]peanuts have been banned for being "hazardous material"

[option]"Who cares if some fancy schmancy official says that we can't eat something?" says @@RANDOMNAME_2@@, your Minister of @@DENONYM@@ Cultural Traditions. I say that eating @@ANIMALPLURAL@@ is part of our national heritage. We should protect that heritage at all costs, for the sake of @@NAME@@!
[effect]@@NAME@@ is known to have the most sickening food in @@REGION@@

[option]"As always, there is a compromise here." states your Minister of Compromises, @@RANDOMNAME_3@@. "How about we allow consumption of the @@ANIMAL@@ and other potentially dangerous foodstuffs, but also recommend ingesting those foodstuffs only in small portions? It's a win-win!"
[effect]eating just one poison berry is okay

It looks like this was intended to specifically be a reversal for the "eating your national animal" policy, but it doesn't work very well in that capacity. Most national animals aren't poisonous.

We've made lots of funny assumptions about what the national animal is like before, but that was when it was just window dressing for an issue about animal rights in general, rather than when actually addressing concerns specific to the national animal in particular.

Ok, I'll scrap this.
