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 - eviltoast

    Libertarians will tell you that even this isn’t cause for government regulation and that the market will weed out the bad businesses by not buying their product.

    That’s because the market is babies and they’d all be dead, Jim!

      No no, this was caused by regulation! Just simply too much regulation. Poor regulated cows. :(
