Brewer's Yeast when Sometimes, a good idea goes bad...

So, one of my roommate/friends had a bright idea.

He's taking Brewer's Yeast as a dietary supplement.  Well, he's inventive and found that the pet food supply houses (Red Barn, et al) stock it in larger quantity and at a much cheaper price; about half or less of the cost of the regular human-consumable variety.

He calls the manufacturer and finds out that the stuff is made to acceptable clean standards (meaning that it's not certified, but prepared in a way that isn't immediately objectionable)...

So, off he goes and buys about four (4) containers of the stuff.

Single-celled fungi all around us do so much good and so much bad.

"Fink said that in biotech applications S. cerivisiae, ordinary bread yeast, is preferable to E. coli not only because it reproduces prolifically, but because it's safe. Even after using it to produce the viral antigens used in vaccines, "you can feed it to animals," he said. Because literally thousands of pounds of yeast can be produced from a small batch, Fink added, "You can get a pretty penny for Saccharomyces" by selling the excess that isn't needed."

So, he's been eating yeast that was used to produce What exactly...?
let me spell it out:
Vaccines
Insulin
Hormones?

oh my...

how do I say it...

Let's see if I can make some sense.

on Monday you got drunk and became very abusive that was kind of scary.  Not only were you verbally abusive, but you were hitting me trying to get to my roommate to hit him.  Fortunately, you don't have much (*any*) in the way of martial arts training.

On Friday I wanted to take the boxes out of the room to get ready for the kids, and you insisted that you and your babysitter would do it Saturday morning.  Saturday , when I wanted to take the boxes down to the garage so we could sort them and get them out of the room you told me if I touched them you would call the police and you would have me arrested for pushing you down the stairs. I still don't know where you got that from.

My friend called me on his way back from Los Angeles and you forbade me to let him in the building. you told me he was a rapist and that you did not trust him.

You also told my roommate you thought I was a rapist...

When I went outside to talk to him, you called him on the phone and threatened him if he. came inside.

My friend and I talked for awhile and I called the Los Angeles City District Attorney's Office. The district attorney advised us to talk to the watch commander. the watch commander said the only thing I could do is ask you to leave. I called and asked dispatch for a police supervisor who is the gentleman that woke you up
When the police took you outside, you told them that I was abusing you, and that I had pushed you down the stairs.

The reason I had to remove you is because I did not want you to have me arrested. And I believed you when you said that you would do just that. Whether you acknowledge it, remember it or not you provided a significant threat to me and my safety.

And yes I could have handled it better but I don't know how.
