TIL about "Swill milk" where cows were fed distillery waste causing cow teeth rot and disease. It was also adulterated with raw eggs, burn sugar, etc. Swill milk lead to over 8,000 infant's deaths

Sooo... just capitalism working as designed.
Gotta get rid of those regulations so we can have people drinking swill milk again.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- In the weeks after passing a bill, allowing West Virginians to drink raw milk, one delegate brought the drink in to celebrate and, eventually, several lawmakers have gotten sick.
I don't totally disagree with raw milk, but it shouldn't be allowed to be destributed. If you go to a local farm and pick up some milk that hasn't been pasteurized, that seems reasonable, and honestly a lot better than the current system.
Doesn't matter, my point is without regulations, you're back to swill milk.
I think raw milk should be available to buy , as a niche product that is labelled correctly so people understand how to process it safely.
The "fuck regulations" crowd want it legal so the farmers/businesses have no obligation for food safety, thus, back to swill milk.
I don't think raw milk should be available to buy except directly on a farm. Yes, we have refrigeration now and you can TB test the cows regularly but there is zero reason to go back to the times of listeria and tuberculosis killing and disabling children just because someone read some nonsense on the Internet.
sure , why not. Maybe you know better than me and those idiots who tried to force it to be legal.
I don't particularly care that much either way, but was leaning on the side of the people that want to make weird homemade dairy products.
Yeah, if can sell shit it's a successful business & brave owners should be rewarded with profits not because of contributions to society but purely on what they could push out. However, suffering and death seems to add that extra bit of flavour to profit that we humans must obviously enjoy very much. Its fair to assume that because we really are naturally talented in not just inventing but also realising & mass producing horror beyond human imagining.
