Unpasteurized Cheese and the Nanny-State
The government, in an effort to save us from ourselves, has a lot of restrictions on cheeses made from unpasteurized milk. Yes, it is more dangerous. And I hear the saftey record of these cheeses are not bad at all.
But if I know the risks, let me eat these French cheeses. I may want to take the slight risk in order to get the superb taste.
I would also like to note that those who eat these cheeses, except for the cruchy conservatives like me, are very much liberals. Live by the nanny-state, your cheese dies by the nanny-state.
