All part of the ratchet system:
Look goy, you need our new water system, plain water is bad for you
Oh no goy, your water system is dangerous, you need more of us regulators to protect you from scams like this
How do people swallow this kind of bullshit though? It’s like all the people who have suddenly decided that gluten is somehow poisonous. We’ve been drinking normal water and eating wheat foods for millennia, these things are demonstrably fine to consume. But some authority figure says otherwise and legions of morons unquestionably accept the new proclamation and alter their lifestyle as a result. Can these people not think for themselves?

Celiacs is a real thing. I think a misunderstanding of that rare genetic defect may have been one of the roots of the whole anti-gluten thing.
Gluten makes your dick fly off and explode tho.
In all seriousness, it's being caused by the centralisation of media and education. Groups like twitter and CNN are now performing more or less the same function as a church pulpit used to. They can broadcast any nonesense they like and the majority will accept it because "the experts say so, believe in science!"
Yeah and for some things I can accept that. Like with this covid thing, I’m not a virologist so I defer to the experts on that. And there’s lots of things like that where deference to experts is probably a good idea. My issue is when the experts say things that you can disprove with a mere minute’s rationalisation of what they’re saying, and there appears to an awful lot of people who either can’t or won’t expend that minute’s thought. The older I get the more I realise how stupid most people really are.
