Pakistani salt conspiracy

[normal]

Apparently there is a widespread belief that iodized salt is an attempt to reduce the population of Pakistan. An estimated 50% of the population are in one way or another affected negatively by lack of iodine in their diet. The health problems caused by this are pushing an already fragile economy towards the edge.

These rumours are spread by imams and merchants. Belief is a dangerous thing as always.

Don't most countries want their populations to be reduced?

They don't want it done by an agency they didn't agree on and are afraid of, like iodine.

We need a witchcraft smiley.

I've heard people say the same thing in North America about iodized salt and fluoride in the water..

Yep. Then you add in a education system that pretty much gives up around 6th grade...
