The war on raw milk
Posted by Richard on March 13, 2012
In California, dairy farmer James Stewart is being prosecuted for selling unpasteurized milk to unsuspecting consumers. No, wait, I got that wrong. He sold it to consumers who eagerly sought him out and stood in line for the opportunity to buy it.
In France, you can buy raw, unpasteurized milk in vending machines, and Mark Perry noted the irony:
… We always hear about France being an example of heavy-handed government bureaucracy and “European-style socialism,” but that seems to more accurately describe California’s approach in this case while France takes the “laissez-faire” approach.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is putting pink slime in school lunches.
Because the government knows what’s best for us.
