“God the level of ignorance is appalling.”

yes it is.

Chlorine is harmful to people, if you recall Dems were up in arms when they thought Trump was telling people to inject bleach during pandemic.

seriously, if you have thyroid issues you are told to avoid chlorine, so why would we want to eat food treated with it? you may say it’s tiny amount, but enough drops of poison adds up.

all these chemicals are hurting us. people years ago didnt use them. I’d rather we bring back fresh kill butcher shops.

‘Chlorine is harmful to people’


Chlorine is used massively in swimming pools. Do you have data that show that people with swimming pool have been harmed by chlorine and have worse health than those without?

Btw, it’s false to say that chlorine wasn’t used years ago. It was used more than two centuries ago for its disinfectant and bleaching properties, massively so and its usage has never decreased ever since. Chlorine as water disinfectant has been litterally a miracle chemical and has saved billions of lifes from food borne diseases and infectious diseases like cholera or dysentery.
It’s just very recently that there has been a vast campaign demonizing ‘chemicals’ in general and chlorine especially. And the fact that Greenpeace is at the forefront of that fearmongering should be a red flag to any freeper worth his salt.
Greenpeace, seriously? When has it last been right on anything?
