A bill to ban the use of the mineral in public water passed the Florida House 88-27. It now awaits Gov. Ron DeSantis’ signature.
Lawmakers in Florida gave final passage to a bill to ban fluoride in public water systems Tuesday, with the state House voting 88-27.
SB 700, also known as the Florida Farm Bill, doesn’t mention the word “fluoride,” but it would effectively ban the chemical compound by preventing “the use of certain additives in a water system.” The bill awaits Gov. Ron DeSantis’ signature.
If DeSantis, a Republican, signs the bill, Florida will become the second state to ban fluoride from water supplies.
Fluorida
Yanks love to stereotype Brits as having bad teeth when statically your teeth have more cavities and removals (our dentistry focuses on health over cosmetics). Hopefully shit like this can fully kill that off that stereotype.
What a stupid and shitty timeline we’re living in. Holy shit.
Leave Florida if you can. Especially if you have or are expecting children. Moving isn’t always possible, but if you live in Florida know that your state is actively trying to hurt you.
Bring back asbestos, Florida! And leaded gasoline!
And gas station bath salts!
Don’t worry, y’all, they’re probably gonna make lead pipes great again, too!
edit - that way, you can all look and act like wild bill from the green mile! isn’t that GREAT?
So if they don’t use the word “fluoride,” does that mean the purpose is that the bill is open to interpretation depending on what they politically need at the time?
Or will the Republicans pass this bill and claim victory, but will actually just leave fluoride in the water?
All those MAGAs thinking it will save government money and that the citizens will see that savings. Even if the savings was fully passed to the general public, it’s going to be very tiny.
