   I don't want to be alarmist, but I also think denial is a big problem these days.

   Everything is so outrageous that I often find myself thinking, "They couldn't possibly mean [some horrifying thing]." But they definitely do mean [some horrifying thing].

     Continuing the milk inspection discussion, I'm wondering if I should make my own yogurt.

     I don't drink milk, but I eat A LOT of yogurt. Would the industrial yogurt-making process likely make it safe if the milk is contaminated?

     I can make yogurt, and it's cheaper than buying it, but it's also a pain and doesn't taste as good, so I'd rather not if it wouldn't make a difference.
