More than 30 percent of young people aged 17 to 24 no longer qualify for U.S. military service because of their weight.

There goes the neighborhood.

There goes the neighborhood.

That neighborhood isn't going anywhere.

You just can't see them, because they live in their parent's basements.

There are tons of obese people in the workforce. Obesity is just a normal part of life in the US. In fact I'd bet the average NEET is healthier than the average working american. People aren't just obese due to sedentary lifestyles. They are obese for a number of reasons. The main one being an attack on our endocrine systems.

I don't completely disagree.

However, people are certainly less active than in the past.
School buses pick up most children.
Or they are dropped off.
Fast food is a regular part of most people's diets. Plastics and packaging materials contribute to the endocrine disrupting, plus phenol phalades in soft rubberized toys for young children. Sugar added to everything.

Most people copy their neighbors activities to and tell themselves it's normal.

It's been normalized by the same cabal that is now depopulating the planet.

They've hijacked medicine, and doctors no longer have a clue about nutrition, and diet.

It's a sustained assault against the pubic. Most never recognize that some group is as war with their personal health.

It's time for people to start having the eyes to see, and to take back their own sense of agency.

Everyone needs a kick in the butt, so they beging to address one's own health needs.

We are at a crossroads, and they are actively shutting down the food supply chain.

The shelves are emptying.

Nobody is coming to save us.
