3) Bovine Growth Hormone.  Monsanto and other companies put this shit into cows to make them bigger and fatter so they can produce more milk.  Then they make more milk faster, so they can make more money, which is the American way.  However, then the milk has a fucking GROWTH HORMONE in it.  So when kids drink it they grow fatter and faster.  That's why we have girls getting huge and fat, having giant tits by the age of 10, and some menstruating at the age of 7 or 8.  They're not mature enough to understand any of this, but their PARENTS DON'T GIVE A FUCK.  People just go "that's weird, I didn't get my first period until I was 12 or 13, but all my kids get their first period at 8 or 9, and I have no idea why.  Huh, whatever, what's on TV?"

 

While I don't agree with its use I disagree with your stated effect. Bovine growth hormone is banned in my country and the people are almost as fat. The early puberty issue exists also despite a ban.  The ban was instituted not because of human health affects but because of concerns over the welfare of cows.

Side note: most of the studies I have read suggest obesity and chemicals with estrogenic effects as the cause of early puberty. (the chemicals with estrogenic effects can turn male fish into sterile hermaphrodites  :(

Whoa.  Interesting.  Well then I take back my Bovine Growth Hormone point from my list.  It's basically all HFCS and GMOs and people not caring about what they eat because they don't have to see it, know what it is, or even cook it half the time.  All farmers, who actually work with their food and see it and know what it is, whether they're independent or corporate, say they will NEVER eat high fructose corn syrup.  Or hot dogs, for that matter.

 

Side note: Bovine Growth Hormone is still absolutely disgusting though, for another reason.  The cows that are injected with it get HUUUGE fat udders.  They get so big and fat and infected and diseased, that pus comes out.  While they're getting milked.  And the pus gets in the milk.  So any time you drink milk from cows injected with Bovine Growth Hormone, you're not only drinking disgusting genetically modified poison, you're drinking diseased cow pus.
