Utah Becomes First State to Ban Fluoride in Public Water

Dental insurance should skyrocket there.
Those who think that pic is funny you need to have a brain check. It's sad.I'll pylon:
I think the public has been made aware of the need to make healthier choices for years but some people just don’t get it. They like the taste of sugar and chemicals - and they are actually addicted to it.
So despite the fact they know better, they still cruise down the cereal aisle and load up on Count Chocula and drown it in whole milk.
Or maybe splurge and get some Chocolate Chip pancakes or French toast bites to be dipped in artificially maple flavored corn syrup.
Then they cruise over to the “baked goods” aisle and get the large sandwich loaf of white bread so they can make bologna sandwiches with the Kraft sliced “cheese product” and a 2 liter of Coke - and potato chips and that’s lunch…
For dinner there’s chicken nuggets and frozen French fries treated with chemicals so they’re crispy - both nuggets and fries can be made even better with ketchup made with high fructose corn syrup. Gotta be healthy so offer “sweetened” applesauce.
Think about all that sugar and all those chemicals.
And think about all the kids who are growing up on that diet and getting addicted to sugar, are overweight and malnourished.

You're saying locally grown food is cheap. If is it's not readily available.
What percentage of people live with ready access. There's no infrastructure. Sugar is a problem, but Iowa, it's always been here. Not a new invention. Look at movies, or news clips from the midcentury and you seldom see overweight people.
You're going to have to blame people for their habits. We had soft drink commercials in the 60s and 70s, maybe more than there is now, since there were more producers. Commercials for all products featured slim models. None targeted the overweight.

This is the issue. It's not difficult to eat sensibly and inexpensively. And to treat oneself can be considered a reward.
To adopt a puritan diet denying pleasure is not healthy in my opinion.
What I said was most food world wide is locally grown
Trump cuts have cut out programs for the poor to buy local foods.
We eat so much sugar due to the corn lobby.
Eating healthy is cheaper than medical cost
Junk food is designed to be addictive.
Kennedy is right to end food stamps used for soda. He may be a lot of things but he is right about that.
I’m a Boomer who grew up when Moms made supper and you ate what was put on the table, and those Moms (and Dads) grew up in the Depression and wartime rationing - so less meat and more vegetables and salad, and you cleaned your plate. And sugar was incorporated for dessert but it wasn’t in almost every food.
My Mother made a meat and two vegetables and often a salad and we always had a dessert. Mom made Jello a lot! And Kool Aid was a hot weather drink and she controlled the sugar she added.
We had to eat breakfast before we could leave the house, and in the winter that was sometimes even cheese toast and a cup of tomato soup (Mom was weird like that). Cereal was Raisin Bran or Wheaties with bananas. She literally never bought any sweet cereals. She said Frosted Flakes were junk and Sugar Pops were something you got at other people’s houses when you spent the night.
We always took our lunch and bought milk.
The term “picky eater” wasn’t even invented back then. You ate fruit and veggies and drank all your milk. Even in high school.
None of us were fat and none of our friends were either.
We all have a sweet tooth today and we all love chocolate, though, 😂
HBOT will be the judge of that. Lets see the receipts
Nope . We have long standing rules around these parts that must be followed.
Isn't that right HBOT?

MAHA!!! YES!! Ban the vaccines and cancer research next!!! We are going to save Americans from themselves!!! Whether they like it or not!
Same here. We had a cave and we (Mom) canned veggies we grew in our large garden. I was raised on a farm, and we had the standard fare: hens, milk cows for the table, orchard. Self-sufficient for the most part. We raised cattle and hogs so our meat sources were self-provided. Needless to say, it took creativity for Mom to keep everyone happy with her menus.
It was 1958 when Dad sold his business as we moved to the farm. Life was basic compared to now. Better stop now. Nostalgia creeping in.
Fine. How much of that food is inspected? What is the cost, financially and the human cost of world-wide disease due to spoiled and contaminated goods? I'm just saying the world-wide infrastructure is not a panacea.
I'm not a processed food fan, we avoid processed foods, but it is a suitable alternative for millions who otherwise may not have access to food sources. Packaged food is practical as well as convenient.
Your hatred of sugar is notable, but life goes on with sugar. I think people's vanity and self-worth would prevent them from becoming morbidly obese. But I guess mirrors only get so wide.
That hack institution Johns Hopkins. But what does cat_turd say about it?!?Link
Why Is Fluoride in Our Water? | Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
Community water fluoridation has passively protected the oral health of Americans for decades by reducing cavities and dental health disparities—so why do some people want to remove it?publichealth.jhu.edu
Literally true when we use the "toothless morons" insult against you MAGA's.
"The sponsor of the Utah legislation, Republican Rep. Stephanie Gricius, acknowledged fluoride has benefits, but said it was an issue of `individual choice` to not have it in the water." Replace "fluoride" with "chlorine".
She's a nurse and dealing with entitled doctors is a pain in the...Nope . We have long standing rules around these parts that must be followed.
