USA, Canada / What do Poles think about drinking raw milk? In America, unpasteurized milk is PROHIBITED. [49]

I can tell I've been drinking raw milk in Poland since day one and I'm still alive. All my friends did too.

But in the USA "the government" claims raw milk can poison you or kill you. They have prohibited drinking raw milk and want to prison farmers for selling such milk. I mean, really? In the country of freedom you are banned from drinking what you feel like drinking, like milk...? I'd say Poles are a living proof drinking unpasteurized milk is as healthy as it can be. Any comments?

A yearlong sting operation, including aliases, a 5 a.m. surprise inspection and surreptitious purchases from an Amish farm in Pennsylvania, culminated in the federal government announcing this week that it has gone to court to stop Rainbow Acres Farm from selling its contraband to willing customers in the Washington area.

The product in question: unpasteurized milk.

It is the FDA's position that raw milk should never be consumed.

News / WOSP in Poland [161]

The question is, if they suddenly stopped, would the government actually pay for things themself.

Of course not. The government wants to eat their cake and still have it. As WOSP and other volunteering movements prove, people are much more effective in managing money than governments. Instead of paying taxes that are wasted on nothing, the money should go into the hands of people who can manage money much more efficiently. WOSP is a great example :).

News / WOSP in Poland [161]

At first it seems like an excellent idea because WOSP helps a lot of people.

But when looking at it from another perspective.. In fact, people pay taxes to have all this equipment available. I'm pretty sure the Polish government is happy with this movement because they can more easily steal money and put it into their pockets instead of buying medical equipment.

Maybe that's a little exaggeration, but I'm pretty sure that's how it works, especially that WOSP has been with us for almost 20 years now, every year.

To sum up, WOSP idea is great, but it's prone to corruption.
