This reminds me of Stoicism. Do you follow that btw? I kind of agree. It is worrying how bad modern day food is with all of the chemicals and plastics. I've looked into this more and you start to see how alzheimers, obesity, etc result from these if one has too much microplastics and chemicals in their body. It's further disheartening to realize how the people from big tobacco purchased fast food companies and have turned their attention to engineering foods that hit every kind of taste and yet are the worst thing you can put into your body. I've recently gone vegan and eat simply. Just stuff from the produce aisle and beans, chia seeds, and yeast. Finally, i'll point to how the Flynn effect has peaked and apparently people are backsliding with their IQ now, and i beleive that this may be due to more microplastics in food, more chemicals, more fertilizer, obesity, etc. It's all the same problem to me. Ok, rant over, wish everyone here a good weekend  |
The main culprit in the lowering of humans IQ in the last 100 years was and still is leaded gasoline even though most gasoline is now unleaded and has been for over 40 years we still deal with its effects on humanity. The asshole that thought that putting lead in gasoline Thomas Midgley Jr. also came up with Freon which was and is just as bad for humans and the planet. |
Well, ok, but that ignores the vast and ever increasing amounts of chemicals in the environment from industrial sources, microplastics, lack of physical exercise, and more processed foods that come from some factory. It's not nearly so simple as what you're trying to say, or even what i'm saying because there are probably multiple reasons.
