Bureaucrats always look dour and want the public to follow suit.

Wow, this sounds like a great business opportunity. I think I'll become a tooth whiting black-marketeer. Thank you EU for showing yet another American capitalist pig how to turn a buck via your stupidity

Q: What is the difference between individual freedoms under the present-day EU and individual freedoms under Stalinist Russia??
A: Nothing.
To: Between the Lines
Why would any state voluntarily join the EU?
We in the United States chafe under own overblown Washington bureaucracy, and wish it would go away.

I have to laugh at the idea of putting dentists in jail for the crime of tooth whitening. It just shows you what happens when you let the government make personal decisions for the people. The nanny state lives.
Hopefully the Brits will wake up and realize that they have a better future if they break their ties with the EU. They have a lot more in common, politically and culturally, with us than they do with the rest of socialist Europe.

Just another result of junk science. This is only a limitation on people's cosmetic freedom. But worse result has been the limitation of water fluoridation here for the past 50 years causing loss of health and severe economic tolls for people. There are also junk science nuts wanting to ban amalgams in dentistry which will also cause economic hardships and inability of some people to afford dental care.
Never underestimate the idiocy of a politician or a bureaucrat.

I wonder how the EU's "Playthings for Pigs" mandate is coming along.

We may laugh at the EU bureaucrats who are threatening to jail dentists for whitening teeth, fine shopkeepers for selling produce in pounds and ounces rather than grams and mandating that pig farmers provide "toys " for their pigs, but the USA is rapidly heading in the same direction. There are groups who would seek to ban us from driving SUV's or putting fertilizer on our lawns and we already have government dictats on how much water we can use to flush out toilets.

Did we knock down the Berlin wall to free the East Germans or did the East Germans knock it down to spread their philosophy?

I didn't know there were that many adults in Britain who still had teeth.
To: chyk
The difference between tooth whitening in GB and water floridation in the States is that tooth whitening is a choice by the consumer, while water floridation is forced upon people,whether they want it or not. If floridation was treated like a consumer product and a choice the people who support it would support and encourage purchasing it in stores and in the media and provide low cost floridation supplies to the poor.

Whitening teeth = Jailed for 6 months and fined 5,000 pounds.
Aborting a baby = Celebrated as a champion of "choice."

The CDC lists water fluoridation as one of the top 10 public health measures of the twentieth century - all the others, mostly vaccinations are required. Soon we may be required to do others - like smallpox. The government regulates every part of our lives and picks our pockets besides - and people are still quibbling about less than 1 ppm Fl in the drinking water that will save society and individuals billions of dollars, not to mention save millions of kids(who have no control of their circumstances) from disease, disfigurement, disability, and pain. Fluoridation actually gives kids freedom from all of these - it doesn't take it away. It also frees kids in the future from seeking government or corporate handouts to fix their teeth.
But I know it also softens brains. And the proof is all around us.

The EU is a TOTAL regulation zone. They're hopelessly self destructive... Not quite yet. They haven't adopted sharia law...
