Self responsibility

NO. Come on Merv Welch. The choice of fluoride is not up to the community. It is up to the individual. It is my choice. I do not want the community deciding for me whether I should use fluoride.

Do some research and read both sides of the fluoride saga, some of the information can be quite challenging.

The government of the day and councils are not responsible for our children’s health.

Let families decide what is best for their children and act accordingly. It is their responsibility.

I am fed up to the back teeth with all the rules and regulations forced upon us by authoritative bodies.

There are always two sides to every argument.

It is about time it is left to the individual to do what they think is best.

Just for once let us be responsible for what we believe is best for our children.

– S. Hansen
