    i feel like if you drew a venn diagram containing people who complain about fluoride in the water and people who argue we should bring back leaded gasoline, it would just be a circle. making this study particularly hilarious

      Are these groups of people in the room with you right now? Who’s asking for leaded mogas back? Or do you mean stuff like avgas 100LL? No one really wants that either, other than the last owners of planes that don’t work with unleaded…

        Not recently but last I heard it was from boomers that are mad kids aren’t drinking out of hoses and riding bikes on the roads.

        Any changes for safety, they presume, make us weak.

            I see bikes too, less numbers. Haven’t seen hose drinkers in a long time. Just had a conversation with my youngest today that we didn’t carry water bottles in school when I was young, we just used water fountains.

            he was appalled :)

      Doubly so when you remember that the people worried about fluoride affecting their brain function haven’t ever demonstrated that they possess a functioning brain.
