The addition of flouride to tap water supply likely affects brain development. Let's not go adding lithium too.

These things are simple enough to advise the populace to use on their own. The government should never play nanny, ever.

Is advising people to wear sunscreen and not speed also nannying? If the government ultimately bears the costs of poor health of citizens, why shouldnt they embark on public health interventions to lower those costs.

The government should not be bearing that cost. It is idiotic to ever put the state in charge of people's health.
