Stephan: I am increasingly concerned with the health of Americans. When I go out what I see is obese women, and men with guts so big they could not look down in the shower and see their penis because their stomach was in the way. I see longevity declining, men's sperm count decreasing, and birth rates dropping below a sustainable level. I see an increase in a whole range of medical issues, increased diabetes II, for instance. And the fulcrum point in all this trend is the food we eat. Here is some sensible guidance for the development of social poliicies that will reverse what has happened. And vote and support politicians that support these kinds of social programs. Fostering wellbeing is the most efficient, most effective, most productive, most enduring, nicest to live under and by far the least expensive option. We need to be healthy to get through climate change.

The data are stark: the typical American diet is shortening the lives of many Americans. Diet-related deaths outrank deaths from smoking, and about half of U.S. deaths from heart disease – nearly 900 deaths a day – are linked to poor diet. The pandemic highlighted the problem, with much worse outcomes for people with obesity and other diet-related diseases.

Dear Stephan,
To day the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is well known as a method to reduce food intake to normality. It could be instructed in schools in order in order to teach every person to eat apprropriate amounts thereby avoid obesity.
Sincerely,

Great and important article, that so many cannot see their….feet! However, checkout the GREATER DENIAL on the #OverpopulationAwarenessGroup and the #peopleConnection. 🙏

Stephan, Yes, the American food supply is atrocious, but the primary causes of both declining sperm counts and increasing female infertility are endocrine disruptors that pervade our environment, including our diet but almost everything else as well. These are primarily chemicals like BPA/BPS and phthalates, used to condition plastics and for numerous other purposes. You’ll want to check out the book Count Down by Shanna Swan for detailed information on this. This is even more of an existential crisis for the human species than global warming, and it remains largely unheard of, even though the evidence is overwhelming.
