An idea from San Francisco I can really get behind!

Our elite cultural overlords are turning against the bottled water industry they helped create, and I couldn't be happier. Neither could Don Surber, who also finds bottled water a ridiculous idea in a country that provides clean, potable water more or less everywhere all the time, for close to free.

What's behind this little spasm of aqua-rage? SF Mayor Gavin Newsom has banned city offices from buying bottled water, citing environmental impact and the amount of oil required to produce all those plastic bottles. (He doesn't mention the ridiculous markup, but that's another good reason.) Unlike Bloomberg's crackpot ideas for New York, Newsom has the right idea here--rather than banning or taxing something citywide, just set policy for actual government offices, and let private industry follow suit to the degree they feel they ought to.

This is good. Now the government officials and agencies who legislate fluoride into the water supply will be forced to drink it themselves.

Fluoride is added to San Francisco’s water supply, not to purify it, but to prevent tooth decay in tap water drinkers. Modern science shows it is ineffective, harmful to health and a waste of tax dollars.

Fluoride chemicals are silicofluorides - waste products of the phosphate fertilizer industry. They are dumped unpurified into the water supply. They are allowed to have trace amounts of lead, arsenic, mercury and other contaminnts.

Studies link silicofluorides to children’s higher blood lead levels which, in turn, are linked to higher rates of tooth decay.

The statistics prove that tooth decay is on the rise along with fluoride over dose symptoms - dental fluorosis

So drink up San Francisco government officials and make sure your kids do, too. If you are buying bottled water at home to protect your family, you should be protecting all San Franciscans by ending water fluoridation.

On the other hand, I understand the fluoride also helps the Illuminati mind control rays to resonate within our cerebral cortexes.

Surely you don’t want to stop that from happening. The results would be chaos.

respectfully disagree. I live in San Diego, and our tap water primarily comes from the Colorado River. While it’s not harmful, it’s also not tasty - too many dissolved salts, and (to-my-taste) too chlorinated (done for obvious reasons). I’ll stick with bottled for drinking. Gavin can stick it up his…oh, wait… nevermind

“More or less everywhere” doesn’t include most locations where I attend (children oriented) sporting events. We keep some in the fridge for take out, not to drink at home, and it’s wonderful for the situation where you kid has neglected to prepare for his game but must have liquid to drink while playing. Grab a couple of bottles and you’re good to go, vs. several minutes getting a thermos with ice together.
