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. And the tone here is hateful.
