New Crisis- Possible Epigenetic Degradation-

To get a better understanding of this, you might watch this first-

I believe, that if what they are saying is true, then taken into consideration with what we know about American diet, Americans would seem to be devolving into fat, incompetant, lazy slobs, who are highly disease prone.

Maybe this explains a good deal of the decline of America.

Maybe the McDonaldization of America is literally the root cause of most of the incompetance, bad behavior and cultural decay that America seems to be suffering from.


What do you think?

NOTE: On a plus side, this means that you can possibly tinker with your own epigenome very easily, so that if you were born with not so good qualities, you can modify yourself so that your offspring will have tremendously good qualities. That's my plan anyways!

Genetic mutation during one's life seems more common sense than scientific breakthrough.

You become what you eat with nature and nurture arising mutually instead of the classical western separation of nature vs nurture.

GMO technology is probably the last nail in the overshoot coffin, makes you wonder the full implication of terminator seed agriculture. How long before people become what they eat? Codex Alimentarius? Sterilization vaccines look so benign in comparison.

I've all the crises I can handle right now, thanks anyway!
Stop filling dumpsters, as much as you possibly can, and everything will get better.

Just think it through.
It's not hard to do.
