Digg - Legalize it (Raw milk) - NY times article

In the same way that washing your hands too often with antibacterial soap makes you prone to sickness, pasteurizing milk kills off the billions of good bacteria that would otherwise benefit you. Please do not outlaw raw milk, if you are going to make something illegal make the selling of milk from sick cows illegal. Sick milk comes from sick cows.

I think it is kind of atrocious that the government can just claim that something we have done for thousands of years (drink raw milk) is now bad for us... and outlaw it. Even if that were true we have a right to our own bodies... but the great catch is that they are totally wrong. You want an example of the government infringing on our liberties? The illegalization of raw milk is one example.
