Timberville Residents Concerned About Fluoride
TIMBERVILLE - Betty Crabtree was so upset about the water, she decided to do something about it. Crabtree is passing around a petition calling for her town to stop putting fluoride in its municipal water supply.
Fluoride, which has been added to water in most municipalities for sixty years, has come under fire for possible negative health effects including harming the brain and thyroid.
On a recent day, Crabtree invited a few friends over to discuss their concerns.
"We just shouldn't be gambling with public health," Crabtree said as she sipped a soda containing aspartame, which has been found to cause tumors in rats.
"I agree," nodded her friend Harry Barb. He then bit into a sandwich made of lunch meats containing carcinogenic sodium nitrates in between two slices of Wonder bread, which is made with potassium bromate, a substance that has been banned in every country but the USA and Japan.
"It's just wrong they would do this to us," added Delores Ham in between puffs on a cigarette. She blew a ring looking like a zero and said, "That's how many potentially dangerous chemicals SHOULD be in our water."

I hear that they are looking at a petition to get rid of enriched flour.
It's all about choosing your own guilty pleasures - there is no pleasure in ingesting fluoride. Fluoride is neither a nutrient nor essential for healthy teeth. No one should be forced fed fluoride against their will and then charged for the assault.
Take action to end fluoridation nationally here:

I am becoming inured to the paranoid people going on and on about fluoride.
Maybe Timberville should stop chlorinating their water, too. And filtering it.
In fact, Timberville residents have a right to drink their water straight from the ground as the good Lord intended, and they also have the right to make everyone else do the same, goddammit.
