Credit where credit's due

Good on United Future MP Judy Turner;

United Future health spokeswoman Judy Turner has taken up the cudgels on behalf of the New Zealand Association of Bakers' concerns about the proposed mandatory fortification of bread with folic acid.

One and a bit percent of the population are pregnant over the course of a year but the government are considering making the entire bread-eating population consume and pay for folic acid to be added to their loaves. Talk about the proverbial sledgehammer.
