17. A Health Department's Worst Nightmare

If health and safety inspectors made it onto the grounds of this festival - that's if health and safety inspectors even existed back then - we're pretty sure they would have unplugged the bands, kicked everyone out and declared the whole area a biohazard. It's not a stretch to say anybody who ate the food on offer at Woodstock was taking their life into their own hands.

Anecdotal reports from the time suggest that chopped vegetables were being served to children from trash cans, which doesn't exactly sound appetizing. Then there was the question of the births. It was difficult for medical teams to even get into Woodstock, let alone reach people deep within the human masses. So, we wonder who helped with the two babies being born, who cleaned them up afterwards, and how the mothers were cared for afterwards. To this day, nobody has ever come forward and admitted to being one of the Woodstock babies.
