    The only reason for the US food pyramid/guidelines are to maximize the
    profit of the food industry. That is why it only exists in the US and
    not in less corrupt countries that are not under total control of
    criminal corporations and industries. The same can be said about
    water fluoridation. Massive US industry influence pushed water
    fluoridation for easy disposal of their toxic waste byproducts which
    would otherwise cost literally billions of dollars per year to dispose
    of properly and would in fact threaten the very existence of these
    industries. That is no small fact. These corrupt immoral industry
    influences do not exist in other countries and without that had
    absolutely no reason to fluoridate their water. That is why the US
    has had to spend billions of dollars worldwide to promote water
    fluoridation in order to expand their toxic dumping. Of course in
    order to dupe the public of other countries they used the supposed
    legitimacy and authority of the US medical research institutes as
    marketing tools. The great thing is even despite that many countries
    have rightfully banned water fluoridation. This really is no different
    than what is done with food and nutrition. The US food industry
    stands to gain from any propagation of US dietary "wisdom" around the
    world. The people of France and other nations should work hard to
    resist the influences and explose the lies of corrupt and immoral US
    industry/government. The US is truly the destructive force of evil on
    this Earth and will go down in history as the darkest age of humanity.
     I do not know what is more frightening. the extent of corruption and
    evil of the US or the fact that the vast majority of the US population
    believes the exact opposite. That the US is the one last force of
    good. The rest of the world knows the truth but it is still
    disturbing that mass brainwashing and deception can succeed on such a
    large number of people.
