Wat zit er in jouw water?

Iets om over na te denken:

Dezelfde mensen die Homeland Security runnen en de banken op Wall Street moeten controleren op eerlijk zaken doen...

... bepalen ook de regulering welke toevoegingen er in het drinkwater van de VS zijn toegestaan.

Hier is een helder voorbeeld van hun modus operandi:

A bad idea gets worse

"What is that?"

"We don't know."

That's not the answer you want to hear when you're talking about a substance added to your drinking water.

But don't worry guys...

State and federal officials assure us that these Chinese-made chemicals are absolutely safe.

Note that according to this report only one small municipality has had the guts to stop adding this junk to local drinking water supplies. The rest go ahead based on assurances from the ever-reliable federal government.

By the way, did you catch who certifies this stuff?

"The National Sanitation Foundation"

Are you f***king kidding me?

First of all, what is a "foundation" doing in the business of certifying chemicals added to drinking water?

But wait, it gets better. Here's how this "foundation" describes itself:

"Serving manufacturers operating in 80 countries..."

But maybe this part will make you feel better.

Their motto is "live safer."

See? Everything's just fine.

By the way, the fluoride we add to water is not to make it safe to drink. It's a "therapeutic" measure. Sort of like adding aspirin or valium.

In this case, the stated goal is to "reduce cavities" though fluoride poisoning is known target the brain, all major organs and the nervous system.
