You have every right to speak your mind, as long as you understand, so does everyone else.
Imprudence is from expecting no counter argument replies.

Michael Balsai: This has never been a problem for me or many of my colleagues either. All of us encourage varied diets, but I see no problem at present with rodent biased diets when used responsibly.

What I tried to say to you in the most polite way I could is this.
Virtually all of the experts who have cited that a diet that includes rodents will not lead to health issues or death have degrees.
This should indicate that they know what they are talking about.
I certainly do not think that PBS, Animal Planet, BBC and others would chose to build documentaries around their work otherwise.
So when a lone voice in the crowd shouts out "you guys don't know what you are talking about" of course that one lone voice must expect all heads to turn in that person's direction and ask "Please cite your proof that these experts are wrong"
And then even the experts themselves are kind enough to extend the courtesy of offering the benefit of doubt and also ask to please present your proof.
Then that lone voice says "my computer is broken" & "I have it somewhere but I cannot produce it"
Then at that point the one lone voice must certainly expect the criticism that is undoubtedly going to follow.
One thing I learned many years ago about forums, even I do not speak in absolutes without backup.
The best path to follow is "I feel that" or "It is of my opinion"
If one is going to say that water is made from hydrogen and nitrogen, then that person will be asked to provide how this conclusion came to be, and will be asked to repeat the lab results before the book of elements will be rewritten.
