I think they would argue that: 1) It is in the public interest, and The thing is, it is not in the publics interest to be poisoned by the very thing that keeps us alive. Sodium Fluoride is of course a by-product of the aluminium industry, is a known toxin, makes us docile, causes cancer and Alzheimer's disease among other things. Yet, we are expected to bathe and drink the **** just because of the lie that it will be good for our teeth? What a load of crap. 2) They aren't forcing you to drink the water from the council water supply. If they aren't forcing us to drink it, why then is it in our water? What are we supposed to drink and bathe in then?
