Oh well, a British accent surely confirms its importance. I'd have to say, if you were raised in America, clean hygiene was always paramount. Oh sure, there was that stinky kid we didn't associate with, but for the most part, our parents made sure we were clean. It was a reflection on how they raised their kids. It's people from other lands that may not have had the luxury of a hot shower or bath, and don't really notice it, they all stink. #1 always seems to be teeth. I can't understand how the medical community seems to think dentistry isn't worth insuring, and so many have bad teeth. Whether they lead to other health problems is sketchy. Usually people with bad teeth have other addictions. And that's another thing, why do pumpkins always have bad teeth?
