I too dislike having my intake of food and water modified and added to by the Nanny State. It's a bit insulting to assume I'm incapable of monitoring my own health. I wouldn't choose to drink fluoride in water, but it's put in before we get the choice. I also hate having 'low fat' stuff in my face at the supermarket. 'Low fat' spreads, milk, yoghurt, and that dreadful 'word' lite. I prefer full-fat dairy products, and surely I've the right to select them? But they're quite hard to find on the shelves. And in any case, 'they' seem to change their minds daily about what we should or shouldn't be eating or drinking. The latest is that real butter and full milk are in fact good for us! I'd like fluoride to be removed from our water, and for it to be left to us to buy toothpaste etc containing it if we so wish. I have all my teeth and I'm old. If children ate less sugar and sugary stuff, I expect hey wouldn't have so many caries!
