Fluoridating Under The Test

The tide against fluoridating the city's water supply may be turning.
The Infrastructure and Services Committee of the Dunedin City Council voted this afternoon against the status quo.
Fluoridating Under The Test
Which is that the council will confirm the existing policy of fluoridating the city's water supply.
There were heated exchanges between councillors with Councilor Guest calling anti-fluoride campaigners 'Quacks and Snake Oil Merchants'.
He also said if they wanted to take legal action against council at the environment court, they should: "Bring It On".
On the other side of the argument Councillor Butcher said the issue is one of choice, likening fluoride with melamine, DDT, and Thalidomide.
The committee voted 7 to 5 against the status quo, meaning it will go to public consultation.
