I never suggested anyone could be coerced into consuming a public resource. But given it's ubiquity, ease of access, and low price, alternatives are not always feasible given individual circumstances.
Public resources are designated for this purpose. I am not being coerced into consuming tap water, but should I wish to, I am being coerced by what may be understood as the majority decision to consume fluoride.
