...and am fit and healthy, with good teeth. Damn right I support fluoridating water. My daughter, who has drank fluoridated water pretty much ALL her life is in her thirties and has GREAT teeth.

Kids in my generation used to have all kinds of dental problems, but when I talk with dentists today they say that's improved greatly since the advent of fluoridation. Why would anyone oppose good dental health for children?
