Considering all the genetically modified foods, artificial chemicals, contaminated meat, and all kinds of other weird stuff in the US food supply today, it's no wonder people get sick in various ways. The FDA pretty much just looks the other way. I think the EU has much stricter health standards and actually enforces them.gsjackson wrote:Funny how few glandular disorders there were in the U.S. 40 years ago.
Those are some great points.gsjackson wrote: To be clear: I don't intend to make fun of obese women -- like anyone in poor health they deserve sympathy and kindness. Since my taste runs to enormous racks, I've dated a few decidedly overweight women, and the sticking point is always what bad health they are in. The gripe here is with: (a) a scheme of feminist values that distorts reality and devalues men; (b) an American food industry that, in order to make more profit, tries to hook people on a horrendous diet; and (c) a culture that has been built entirely around the private automobile and entirely eliminated walking as a normal daily activity.
Yeah, that's pretty sad.gsjackson wrote:On this latter point: My sister's kids were 11 and 9 when they moved to their current suburban digs. From that time until the kids went off to college, not once -- not once -- did those kids walk out the door to any place but a car parked in the driveway. That's fairly typical now for American suburban kids.
