In a somewhat sarcastic column,Dallas Morning News(1/27) columnist Jacquielynn Floyd wrote in favor of community water fluoridation. Floyd wrote that as anti-fluoridation proponents “fire off crazy-pants news releases and gabble nonsense about neurotoxins in the tap water,” perhaps “what we need is a marching army of professors and pediatricians and dental techs down at Dallas City Hall on Wednesday, yodeling and waving gross-out posters of human mouths disfigured by rutting stumps and broken teeth” in order to convince people that community water fluoridation is important and necessary. Calling those against fluoridation “delusional,” Floyd adds that she “choose[s] science,” and adds that she expects Dallas City Council to “cast a thoroughly routine vote to continue a thoroughly routine public health measure.”
