In the context of food safety, Hanson emphasizes that regulations may not prevent issues related to excessive indulgence, such as consuming too many fatty foods like carnitas burritos. His remark highlights that the challenge is not necessarily the safety of the food, but the consequences of consuming high-fat dishes in large quantities, which can lead to discomfort or health problems.

This insight resonates with themes in John Scalzi's book "Redshirts," where characters face unexpected challenges that arise from their choices and circumstances. Just as in food consumption, the decisions made by the characters lead to unforeseen consequences, emphasizing personal responsibility and the impact of one's actions in various scenarios.
