I feel like that too, but is there a public health problem? Your freedom to get sick stops when you can get me sick, just as your freedom to throw a punch stops before my face begins. All animus aside (and believe me, I get that) autonomy of the body matters but not when it comes to, say, getting the measles vaccine. But honestly I don’t know if that’s a serious issue or not.

Possibly, but it seems like it would be remote? The (good?) thing about food-borne disease is that it's only really contagious to other people who have contact with a person's bodily fluids. I suppose if the raw-milk craze got big enough it could overwhelm hospitals but... I really hope it doesn't get that far
