Currently, the planet holds an estimated 6.72 billion people. If we pass out 6.72 billion frozen pizzas stripped of the words "cook before eating" and one in a million chomps down on an icy pizza and die of e. coli as a result--let us consider that our gene pool might be ever so slightly improved.
This would probably backfire due to the lack of correlation between immune system and intellect. The raw-pizza-eater would, with our luck, just contaminate other people and cause them to die instead (despite having the sense not to eat uncooked foods).
At the San Diego Zoo last week I watched pandas. The world needs more room for pandas.
Pandas with e. coli may have difficulty transmitting it to other pandas, or so I've read...
