Would They Fluoridate The Water In Eden

I was thinking about the future and I think everything comes back to the same question of what sort of world would you want to bring a child into. It concerns both your personal plans and the future of the wider human story.

This is why education has always been such a big thing for me. What is the point of this endless grind if even the children aren't spared the nine-til-five drudgery? From now until forever.

So this is the anchor.

What do we want for the world?

I've mentioned the folic acid in flour issue on here before. Since then I've been looking at the options for food without it. Flour is in so many products. Not just bread, but cakes, pastries, crackers, any product with breadcrumbs, the list goes on. For people that are advised to avoid folic acid for medical reasons it really is going to be a nightmare. It's a terribly irresponsible thing for a government to do. Flour is so ubiquitous in our diets. So any negative consequences are really going to be compounded.

Then I think about children. How would you raise a child in this chemical world? The very water is fluoridated. Things as simple as bread are massively fortified - by mandate.

Very little choice over schooling. Very little choice in regard diet or medical care. It's your child - you're bringing it into the world - but the state claims ownership over it. This is not a world for children, so these things need to change.

This is where my politics begins and ends.
