Yeah, I agree. I have a friend who was developing man-boobs. I told him to avoid Soy, due to the phytoestrogens. He had no idea. he stopped. 12 months later, the difference is visible.

To the gulchers: Warn your families about ONE thing. The ability to take a WASTE product, and SELL it to humans is AMAZINGLY profitable. Studies (they control, will show it's amazing... In some directions).
This is true for Whey Protein (it was leftover from making cheese. Curds and Whey. Little miss Muffet.)
Whey was the leftover after making cheese (casein protein). Soy Protein... Same. Particle Board (compressed sawdust), which is MOLD HEAVEN if it gets wet. We are ONLY sold the "Pros"

Anyways, my point here is that this is ON US. 300 years ago, when you had children, they were a WORK FORCE. They had to perform work that fed the entire family. They did NOT free load. My father, 1st generation American, grew up on a farm (and in an orphanage). Could drive by 9. They NEVER ate breakfast as we think of it. You got up, donned your "work clothes", and picked up the eggs, fed the hens, milked the cows. Of course, his brother split the chores with him. They came in, got cleaned up, dressed for school, had a small breakfast, walked to school, walked back, changed clothes, more chores, dinner then homework. (Even in his 80s, my dad had coffee and 2 Vienna Fingers for Breakfast. No lunch, then a simple dinner. Maintained a healthy (light for me) weight. Growing up, I NEVER saw my dad drink water. LOL).

Back to the point... As parents, we are GIVEN children. Our job is to raise FUNCTIONAL, HEALTHY adults who can take care of themselves by 16-18 years of age. At which point, they need to pay rent at home, or be in a trade or a school THEY pay for. We've lost sight of this.

Society LIED to us, every step of the way. (Diamonds are forever. Nope, China MAKES most of them, prices have cratered over 90% because DeBeers created an ARTIFICIAL market selling... Drum Roll... A scrap Product (We needed crap diamonds for blades, etc at cheap prices, the scrap was BIG/Beautiful Diamonds, IMO, but not worth much unless you PREVENTED the supply from hitting the market. That plus advertising... It's crashing now, as it should have).

So, WE must take some of the blame. By making our childrens lives so easy, they lost the Gumption that made our parents American. I was fortunate to not have "successful" parents (both drop outs). Despite my education, I raised a FUNCTIONAL young adult, who left the house on her own, the MINUTE she could. And I did MY BEST to explain ALL of this to her, while she grew up. So she passes it on to her children, and she understands that raising a spoiled brat is a parenting problem.

PROOF: She asked if I could make a series of videos, she can share with my future grandchildren because she can't remember all of the great lessons I gave her. She also wants them to hear from me.
LOL. I told her, they were ALL extemporaneously created on the fly based on the topic at hand. Spend time with them, and try to recreate the times with them that we had. The lessons will show up when they are ready.

Anyways, I pray that we can get back to that. That we can apologize to the spoiled kids, and tell them where we went wrong. And get them to see a better path. To understand that a "hard life" makes strong kids. (not too hard... But certainly NOT easy. She had NO TV in her room, and did not get a smart phone until after her first semester of all A's in Uni, with rules that she could NOT do social media, and I READ EVERYTHING (zero privacy), if you want it private. Say it in person, so it never haunts you!)

Going extinct is an interesting (but of course not certain) possibility. I think what I have in mind about that is less of a certainty and more that as a species, we aren't as "special" as we think we are. There are people who believe that it actually could not happen, based on their religious views. I don't agree with that, but that's me.

Speaking of sperm counts, if I recall correctly, that may have a direct association (if not causation) with the increasing amounts of soy in our food. I'll have to say it's getting harder and harder to find foods with any processing at all (like smoked sausage as an example) that doesn't have soy in it. Although my husband and I are LONG finished with the reproductive part, we still avoid soy, and it's getting to where label reading is becoming a secondary 'hobby' for us. Most of what we eat doesn't have labels, but every once in a while we like something different.

The other issue is that alarmingly often, young adults simply have no interest in having children. I think it doesn't sound "fun" to them (and they may have something there....as a mother of two, I can say that some of those days were definitely not fun.) I am lucky to have four adult grands, and a great-grand, but honestly I am not sure it'll go past that. Two of the grands are absolutely in no position to reproduce and have zero interest in doing so, whether they are physically able or not. Both in their twenties, they still live at home with mom and dad.

This is not the world I thought I was passing down....

Good For you. Seriously!

And the reproduction thing is quite alarming.
I doubt we will go completely extinct, but unfortunately I think we end up back in "caveman" days at some point. Our trajectory is NOT GOOD.

I Believe I read somewhere that semen counts are like 60% of normal and dropping.

Post the vaccine, rumor has it, that births are way down in the countries most vaccinated. Taiwan being one of them. Again, fortunate to be older, but worrying about the children and FUTURE grandchildren...

I was happy to see Dr. Mike Eades address the GLP1s in NO uncertain terms not long after they came out. He permanently "switched off" my interest and/or desire for this "magic" way to lose weight (of course nothing is magic.) As a person who had a long-standing problem with weight (I was one of those fat kids in the fifties who "you never used to see,") I did find that following low carb did the trick for me, but it took a while. I am happy at my advanced age to finally be NORMAL when it comes to weight. But that also implies a non-normal life, in that I never eat fast food, ultra processed foods, all of that junk that so many people are enamored of any more. OK, sermon over! :-)

In other reading I have heard mention that not only does GLP1 make so many people docile (a government's dream citizen), it also causes a huge change in one's interest in sex. Over a population, this could add to the already-existing fact that so many people just don't want to bother with kids any more.

I don't hold a lot of hope for our future as a human race. IMO there is no civilization or population that cannot eradicate itself, given the right circumstances, and we are no different. Thank goodness I'm old, but I fear for my kids and grandkids.

Good call, FFA. After reading your note, I made a quick visit to their site, which tries to pretend to be neutral, but it looks more like a smoke screen for another gun control ploy. I should have done that first.

They are headed in that direction, but the push will be to declare any gun owner dangerously mentally ill.

Witness the normalization of abnormality -- a deliberate dumbing down of populations.

I believe, that within the next few years (out to 2032), many members of sundry populations will voluntarily take a form of soma that will result in permanent sleep, they will choose this medication out of pure boredom.

Perhaps it will be a Better World with fewer dolts, dullards, dimwits and useless eaters.

I just returned from Silverton Colorado -- where I was crewing and pacing for a good friend as he ran the Hardrock 100 ... one of the most difficult mental and physical 100 mile ultra-endurance events on Earth. Three weeks ago, I ran the Denali 135 in Alaska -- my friend was there with me, running the crew vehicle. I love mountain climbing, ultra-running, being party to successful business enterprises ... I love these things because I love Life, my life and direct engagement with challenging activities.

One nice bit about the Plandemic, lots of the population decided to follow the Narrative "Stay Home, Stay Safe!" -- and so, many of the highways, trails and mountains were devoid of those Staying Safe. If individuals choose to self-delete, than I say, one fewer somnambulist. As described in Atlas Shrugged, I will be ever more cautious to avoid situations where something can fall on my head, the result of incremental societal collapse.

A Different take (TLDR;)...
We are learning that simple peptides can radically affect human behavior.

Turns out, it was easier to be THIN in the 1950s BEFORE the food additives and the THOUGHT that making food addictive is a good thing. Then the attack on "FATS", pushing sugars.

Doctors for EONS told people how to lose weight. Stop eating Bread, Sweets, Biscuits, etc. Eat meat and Veg. No fruits, nothing sweet. (Nourish yourself, don't eat for Flavor/Fun).
It worked. Very very low obesity.

Fixing it with will power, in a sea of drugged up foods is ALMOST impossible. Suddenly a PEPTIDE shuts off the desire to eat. And EVERYONE can lose weight again.

Unfortunately, they are EATING LESS. And NOT eating BETTER. They lose MUSCLE and BONE because of it. Many shift into Anorexia! (Olivia Wilde looks like Golum)

People seem "Heavily Vaccinated".
Clif High made the comment that car insurance is UP because of the "Vaccidents" which he explains is that people are like zombies, while driving, and just HIT things!

I've seen this in so many meetings... I am concerned about the future of our country!

What I just read makes me think there are libtards in charge of
Schiff who would try to manipulate me dino with fear if not kill me dino just because I'm MAGA.
Ha! Ha! Ha! Oh, how silly!
Uh~~but wait~~~~

Not surprised. This may be one in a collection of substances that have had a profound impact on human behavior over the past couple of decades.

Maybe I'm the one who's got the problem. But I haven't taken any pharma products for over 20 years. Sitting in meetings now, watching people dry to drive through a parking lot, hearing the news media comment on things...I'm 100% sure there's something wrong with the general public. Zero doubt anymore. Why not have a drug like this add to it?

"back door admission "? Call me a skeptic.
With a name like "Gun Violence Research Center"?
Honesty from a (left-brainwashed) "sociologist" being employed by a bunch of parasites who
use people injured by criminals to get 6-figure public funding, pretending they care while
supporting no-bail and early release of said criminals?
Examine their weasel-word filled website for yourself. ;^)
These fake do-gooders have never produced anything but fake news and they never will.
They want taxpayers to believe the answer is to drug everyone who disagrees.

First they came for the gun owners and I did not speak out ...
...
Then they came for me, And there was no one left to speak out for me

Soma coma coming right up! Could there be a silver lining in this cloud? I noticed this in the article: "We view this study as a first step, not a final answer,” lead author Daniel Semenza, director of research at the New Jersey Gun Violence Research Center at the Rutgers School of Public Health, told Gizmodo.”. Might this be a back door admission guns are not the problem, but the trigger puller's behavior is?

What I say is forget about school counselors.
Mass produce it and load onto crop-sprayers (B52s even better)
and send them out over some cities I can name,
the north of England, in the middle east, and close by.

Maybe I've read the article wrong, the substance probably works as well as those vax jabs of 5 years ago.
