Steps to win:
1. Call Food Inspection Agency
2. Place rat nests in kitchen areas
3. win
Of course, this might mean you can't eat food for a while, but you do have
the victory of keeping administration from doing what they want. To remedy
this problem, I suggest:
1. Blame relevant authority figure for not listening, even when you said
their were rats/toxic waste/living fungus (among us?)
2. Get authority figure removed
3. Learn from washington: put puppet in as authority figure
4. Listen to Puppet Master. be blissfully ignorant of mistakes, and
enjoy!

Disclaimer: Don't be an idiot. So don't do this. Besides being gross,
youll probably end up with some weird swine-avian-rabies-virual-brainwashing
flu-from-hell when a rat bites you, and then zombies will start to appear,
and it will be World War Z all over, which overall, was really really bad.
In addition, I will personally hunt you down if you become a zombie, so
ggkthxbai if you even think it would be funny.
