Ain't many fat people in old pictures from 100+ years ago.... I know life was harder.... but no GMO & Hybridized wheat back then either!

Buddha statues are all fat fucks.

Gender-Bender Chemicals are Turning Boys Into Girls

The government of Denmark has released a 326-page report affirming that endocrine disrupting chemicals are probably continuing to the birth of fewer males and the "feminization" of existing ones.

The report centers on chemicals like PVC, flame retardants, phthalates, dioxins, PCBs and bisphenol-A, all of which mimic the action of estrogen in the body. The researchers concluded that due to the prevalence of these chemicals, children could easily be exposed to high enough levels to place them at "critical risk" of harm.

Gender-bender chemicals causing early puberty in girls

"Endocrine disrupting" chemicals that mimic or interfere with the body's natural sex hormones are partially responsible for early puberty in girls, according to a study conducted by researchers from Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York.

"Research has shown that early pubertal development in girls can have adverse social and medical effects, including cancer and diabetes later in life," researcher Mary Wolff said. "Our research shows a connection between chemicals that girls are exposed to on a daily basis and either delayed or early development."

After my limited reading into Sous Vide, I decided against it. I blame all plastics, liners, BPA-free or not-BPA=free...

I also blame SOY in messing with our endocrine and hormonal balance.

Traditionally SOY is fermented, historically in SE Asia in the form of bean pastes and soy sauce, sure there's Tofu and Soy Milk...

What I'm trying to say it's never really eaten by itself or in the form of extruded 'textured soy protein'. The health food fanatics in the 1970's and 1980's embraced soy wholesale. It's everywhere in processed and fast food.

Soybean and corn oil??? Only from chemical reactions!!!

Industrial foodstuffs are literally killing everybody!

corn syrup

Aye. The PVC pipes. I remember in middle school how the drinking water flavor changed when they changed to plastic PVC piping. I could see the plastic piping behind the fountain, which I recall looking at when I noticed the flavor.

I could taste it in my mom's water bottle in the 80's.

To this day I refuse to use water bottles. They made baby bottles out of the stuff for 10 years. Scary stuff.

I read the book wheat belly and the testimonials of a doctor taking people off wheat were incredible.

Seriously...I look at pictures in my Time Life old west book series... NO FAT PEOPLE HARDLY ANYWHERE 120+ YEARS AGO...NADA, NONE!

I'm at a computer more than I like too.

I still burn fire wood in the winter and hike ever deeper in the woods to get cured and dry firewood or cut and load it into trailers, split it and bring it into the house....

Still I think it helps me lose weight and we love our wood heat... think it also keeps us from getting sick as much having a warm dry house in spite of cool damp outside.

Earth grounding (going barefoot) as much as possible working outside has also helped me reduce inflammation and I believe would be a key to weightloss for many people.

We even sleep on a semi-metallic earth grounded bed sheet.

REM dream state does not get much better than that bed BTW.

Isn't it generally accepted that one of the causes of the 'Downfall of Rome' was lead piping?

I've wondered if a similar decline was planned and implemented in similar fashion, but this time utilizing plastic.

Prior ignorance aside.

HFCS is the main reason for the huge ballooning. You don't have to go back 100 years ago. Just look at people in the 70's and even early 80's before HFCS became so prevalent.

Our bodies cannot digest HFCS properly.

Lead piping was thought to have made Emperor Nero go mad...leached out quite badly.

They also didn't have 3 or 4 cars in their driveways. They walked.

I grew up in a town where we never had school bus service. From first grade through high school, we walked. The schools I attended from 4th through 12th grade were 2 1/2 miles from my home. No processed foods either.

I walked a long distance to our bus stop too... uphill only one way (not both ways)

I recall watching a documentary that mentioned that all the aristocracy had lead pipes leading to their homes.

I believe I also heard it was used to flavor wine.

Lead is sweet, that's why kids ate the paint chips.

The Ethanol corn was the worst government idea IMHO to make the US codependent on other nations to import our food.

The idea of growing fuel corn (That has to be Federally subsidized because it is not naturally profitable in the marketplace) was a central planning communist agenda to shift our farms away from our own food production and self sufficiency.

BTW the deer that eat some of these GMO corns (not meant for human consumption) are growing to enormous body sizes and masses and are not something you want to hit with your car when a horny buck is going out of his mind chasing the doe in heat....

processed food, trans fats, hormones in livestock, hfcs etc.
In my junior high of about 500 kids, there was 1 fat kid..People called him chubby..and maybe 1 fat gal. and maybe 1 gal had boobs. Nowadays, its 50% of the population..probably a combination of factors.

I won't use styrofoam because I can taste it in hot cereal or beverage.

I was just at a large county fair today and the wife and I had to comment on the amount of morbidly obese people there. We've been hitting the same fair for over 30 years and the explosion of fat is exponential, and within the last few years the scooter rentals have been booming.

This definitely has to be connected with high fructose corn syrup and all the other garbage that is processed foods today.

I know you talked a lot about shame in the karma thread, but do you think shame has its place?


That the lack thereof, and tolerance for deviant behavior, has caused far more harm than benefit?

For example 'fat acceptance'. The level of morbid obesity I witnessed yesterday, was depressing.

I couldn't help but show my disgust yesterday when I saw a woman so fat, that her front-butt, hung like a fleshy meat curtain, halfway to her knees.

They were everywhere and their choices are gonna cost billions maybe even trillions, in medical costs.


So what is wrong with shaming those who deserve it? Should fat shaming come back in vogue?
