Folic folly

Big hoo-haa being made over the question of whether or not folic acid should be added to bread, to cut the risk of babies being born with certain defects. The main opposition seems to come from those who object on the grounds that this is "compulsory medication". I wonder if these people realise that flour is already "enriched" by law with certain additives, so the principle is well settled. Anyway, anybody who objects can always stick to wholemeal bread, because that will not be affected.
