"Imagine a league called the “decent eaters,” organized to espouse the doctrine that eating pie together with milk is evil (...) The attempt to prohibit pie and milk would evoke only laughter
but there would be a more tolerant attitude toward the attempt
to prohibit prostitution."

Hoje em dia, não tenho tanta certeza, sobretudo se a campanha anti-"tarte com leite" fosse feita com argumentos de saúde (estilo, "não comer ao mesmo tempo açucares com periodo de digestão diferente) em vez de moral.
