      Whenever you think government regulation of something is overbearing, there’s a story like this that preceded the regulation.

        Apparently this story preceded some asshole politician blocking regulation despite public outcry and working super hard to make sure nothing changes, successfully for the most part.

          According to Wikipedia.

          Tuomey assumed a central role in the ensuing investigations, and, with fellow Aldermen E. Harrison Reed and William Tucker, shielded the dairies and turned the hearings into one-sided exercises designed to make dairy critics and established health authorities look ridiculous, even going to the extent of arguing that swill milk was actually as good or better for children than regular milk.

          Ah war politics, politics never changes.
