This is a double post from my main blog over at DatingGod. Thought you might like to take a peek . . .
I finally finished and turned in the paper for my environmental health class. The overarching topic is the epidemic of chronic disease that is escalating and going global at an alarming rate. The way we're headed, today's kids will be outlived by their parents. Stop and take that in for a second because it's a doozy. What it means is: life expectancy will actually be Decreasing.
What I discovered while researching this topic over the past few months (and tying in research from the past two years) is that there are many risk factors, but it's the toxic food environmental that's doing the most damage. I cover all sorts of levels including advertising, government subsidies, current corporate sleights of hand, why weightloss for adults is downright impossible, the mechanisms behind the manic joy of sugar, and why you just can't seem to put down the doughnut. There's good solid background stuff, but also plenty of genuinely wild, bizarre, and shocking data, theories, and hypotheses. So have at it, and prepare to get your mind bent :)
