...People have been drinking raw milk for a long time, of course - at least since sheep and goats were domesticated in the 8th or 9th century B.C. Raw milk is rich in protein and fat, and milk from cows became a staple of the American diet in colonial times. When milk leaves the animal, however, it can also contain any number of pathogens, which is why most doctors consider pasteurization - subjecting milk to a short burst of heat followed by rapid cooling - one of the great public-health success stories of the 20th century. By eliminating most of the pathogens...
Assume your readership is exactly like you: Don’t bother with readers who might differ from you in their perspectives or backgrounds. Are you rich, white, preppy, and racially insensitive?

"It's just the increasingly unequal distribution of income." That is, the federal deficit has been shrinking because the rich have been getting richer. This is not a development the President is likely to brag about the next time he makes a speech about the economy. But, hey, it pays the bills...
...blinked. Occupied by his own overheated thoughts, he had hardly registered the presence of the city, let alone its people. He saw now that he was in the crowd huddling along Broadway, waiting for a landau and a city wagon to pass. In the landau were a pair of rich ladies dressed for a party, each smiling and holding a tiny candle out the windows of the carriage. Piled in the wagon were dozens of street carcasses--mostly dogs, some rats and cats, a couple of pigs, the whole heap covered in an inch of lime, which sifted out between...
