Mass medication - our daily bread

All it is, is Vitamin B9.



What's the problem?

The problem is lack of choice.
If I get 'enough' by eating spinach for example, why should I be put in the position of having to choose whether I eat more because it's added to the bread I'm supplied. If I don't get enough from the rest of my diet, I'm not going to get enough from the bread I do eat.
How many of us decided we'd had enough of Socialists telling us what was good for us? Yet their cunning manoeuvrings are still working their insidious poison on each and every one of us.

What's the problem?

• Some people already get enough.
• Some people are on general vit b supplements and don't want a higher dose.
• Some want to get their vitamins naturally.
• Some girls do
• Some girls don't

Open the paper this morning and what do you know? The government have ditched plans to put folic acid in bread!

Seems they want more time to assess the evidence surrounding this issue. Cabinet will formalise the decision tomorrow and it will go away for 3 years.

Apparently "a trip to the baker, should not be a trip to the chemist"

Bear in mind this is gonna cost us a couple of $100,000 to investigate it

If it was a trade deal then what had we planned to exchange for dangerous bread additive?
In the old days you used to be able to give Australia your criminals.
That still sounds like a good plan to me.

[Okey Dokey]

HOORAY!!

I suspect the unmissable discontent of the electorate might have had more than a bit to do with this decision. Well done all

What's next then?

[Genestho]

Oh thankgoodness!

Because they don't have any. Where do they work?

As to the lack of choice.
That's not entirely true.
Vitamin B9 was not going to be added to organic bread.



Don't see much opposition to these.

So why are these not banned too.



Oh don't tell me these were not bought in by the evil socialists.

Who the hell am I to argue your lofty position on this subject.

I have no idea when these additives were approved, nor added to our food. I do know however, that my kids almost never ate them. They do not feature on my agenda. Though to be fair here, I did feed my kids some of these more interesting additives from time to time. My experience of the fall out from doing so, led me very quickly to confining treats for my kids to ones I made myself, or the very ocassional store bought treat.

Look, all you have to do is eat a well thought out diet, and you will get the ordinary daily requirement for folates. Shit it is not rocket science. I grow silverbeet, and I actually have been known to buy spinach. When I was pregnant and trying to make babies I took a supplement prescribed to make damn sure I got what I needed.

The addition of the additives you are talking about has nothing to do with a decision to mass medicate the populace at all.

Thank goddness for common sense is all I can say.
