Folic acid in bread

[Will]

Now I may have missed something here, but...

 

They were talking about pumping folic acid into white and brown (but not wholemeal?????) bread as women should be taking folic acid when they conceive and the early stages of pregnancy - to reduce the risk of spina bifida

 

How many babies actually get born with that? Why fecking bread? Why do we all have to take this stuff? Who will pay for this?

 

Just strikes me (without having many facts, granted!) as a ludicrous "nanny state" overreaction (and can we please not have this turn into an anti-Government/establishment rant)
