Why do we get so uncomfortable at the idea of removing something that might be harmful?
Today I found myself scrolling a mom group on Facebook (I really need to stop, but that’s a convo for another day).
Someone posted:
“Any moms concerned about removing fluoride from the county’s drinking water? If you’re willing to speak on camera, please reach out to me. Thanks.”
Now—she has every right to ask, why don’t we want it removed?
And here’s what gets me.
The comments.
Some moms agreed and said yes, it should be taken out.
But then you’ve got the ones saying things like:
“Unless you’re drinking 120 gallons in one sitting, you’re fine. The amount in drinking water is too small to cause any harm. We’re already exposed to toxins — cleaning supplies, pollution, secondhand smoke, makeup, electronics…”
And I just sat there thinking… so because we’re already exposed to all this stuff… we should just keep piling it on?
One mom nailed it when she replied:
“So because it’s only a little, it’s okay? That’s the same mindset behind all the toxins you just mentioned — a little here, a little there… it adds up. We’re constantly exposed. Why wouldn’t we want it removed?”
YES. That was exactly my thought.
Why wouldn’t we want less toxicity?
Why are we so quick to defend what we’ve been told is “safe,” instead of asking if there’s a better way?
We don’t have to be conspiracy theorists to question things.
We just have to care.
