Why not take it in a pill form

I think for a family like yours, this might work. For poor, uneducated families it will not work.

The article was well written until I saw words and phrases like "hippies" and "rich white people getting acupuncture".

I think you must be referring to this portion:

Who is opposing fluoridation? Call me crazy, but five’ll get you ten that in Portland it’s mostly middle to upper class white people. It’s too bad that they can’t be bothered to actually learn how to read the scientific literature, but I suppose it is a hassle to get from your cozy office job to the acupuncturist, to 24 hour fitness and then stop to pick up some organic Kombucha at New Seasons before Mad Men is on–No time to stop and think about little poor children with their teeth rotting out of their fucking faces with no dental care who were denied a simple, safe public health measure that could have saved them from it.

-I thought it was pretty much spot on. I know a number of people like this, chances are you do too.

It seems to me that in the absence of struggle, people create one. Everyone needs something they're passionate about, something they are fighting for, I think for a lot of middle-class, soccer moms/dads it's turned in to vaccines, fluoride and GMO. All of which are, more often than not, poorly understood by them but has been integrated in to that part of them governed by "belief."

I believe it's bad for my children Why? I don't want chemicals in my kid

We all have a right to care about what our children consume but at what point do we not allow a decision rooted in belief to infringe upon the health of someone else's kid?

By the way, if I'm ever in OR I'd love to get some Kobucha with you and your hubby. -Strike that, let's make it a beer. First rounds on me :-)
