Gas Defense Formula needed in Malawi

BBC:

Two of Malawi's most senior judicial officials are arguing over whether a new bill includes a provision that outlaws breaking wind in public.

Justice Minister George Chaponda says the new bill would criminalise flatulence to promote "public decency".

"Just go to the toilet when you feel like farting," he told local radio.

However, he was directly contradicted by Solicitor General Anthony Kamanga, who says the reference to "fouling the air" means pollution.

"How any reasonable or sensible person can construe the provision to criminalising farting in public is beyond me," he said, adding that the prohibition contained in the new law has been in place since 1929.

Well, there are several products on the market to deal with excess gas. Perhaps this was a subtle marketing campaign for some of them. Malawi is in southern Africa just north of South Africa and west of Zimbabwe. My daughter spent a year or so there and did not mention anything about the smell of the place.
