**Headline: Baltimore Cuts Fluoride—Because War in Iran, Apparently?**
So, the Baltimore City Department of Public Works has decided to reduce fluoride in the drinking water. Why? Because a war halfway across the world is messing with the supply chain. You heard that right. Apparently, supply disruptions from the Iran conflict are so impactful that they require a temporary drop in fluoride levels from 0.7 mg/L to 0.4 mg/L.
Now, let’s unpack this. Fluoride in water is supposed to be a public health measure, but here we are, relying on international conflict to dictate how much of it we get. Maybe it’s just me, but this seems like a pretty flimsy excuse to lower fluoride levels.
What’s next? Are we going to blame the supply chain for the lack of pizza toppings too? “Sorry folks, no pepperoni today; there’s a war on!”
And while we’re at it, can we talk about how the public isn’t exactly being consulted here? No town hall meetings, no polls—just “trust us, it’s fine.”
In the end, you have to wonder: how much of this is really about fluoride and how much is just a convenient excuse to dodge accountability?
