This history lesson fails to observe that there has never before been seven billion of us on the planet, nor that the medical ills quoted are largely a result of us living longer than ever before. Also that a large section of our globe, the Asian section, has existed on a diet less reliant on meat and mostly on rice and soy and that this is area now in ascendancy in our world.

The organisers of the Paris Olympics made fools of themselves in more ways than one.

Not only are we living longer but we are artificially increasing the birth rate by such things as artificial insemination, surrogacy and IVF.
We are expanding the (out of control) population growth at both ends.

Asians are weedy little people because they don't eat meat. When they immigrate to the West, the second generation soon bulks up.

The main thing that we should be concerned about with population growth is that is the wrong groups who are breeding, while us whites are not doing it enough to even replace ourselves.

What colour were the first humans?

Not so.

Some US stats, no doubt mirrored by similar trends in Australia ...

Nearly 50% of US children are overweight or obese. Juvenile diabetes was practically nonexistent in the 60s … the average paediatrician then would see a single case in their lifetime. Today, one of every three kids who walk through their office door is diabetic or prediabetic.

There’s been an explosion of neurological diseases that were rarely seen in the 60s ... ADD, ADHD, speech delay, language delay, Tourette’s, narcolepsy, ASD, and Asperger’s. In the 60s autism was unheard of. By 2000, the rate was one in 1,500. Now it’s one in 36.

About 18% of teens have fatty liver disease. Young adult cancers are up 79%.

40% of teens have a mental health diagnosis. 15% of high schoolers are on Adderall and half a million children are on SSRIs.

Yes, we’re living longer, but that doesn't explain these types of statistics.

It's not just moving away from meat. It's the way most of our food is now produced ... large-scale mono-cropping, intensive factory farming, GMO, added hormones, added antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides, synthetic fertilisers, depleted soils, contaminated fish, contaminated water, ultra-processed foods, chemical additives ... the list goes on.

No wonder we're not as healthy as we used to be. Young and old, it's affecting us all.
