What do you think is causing this? (See below)

I just heard on television that of all the young men and women of an age to be drafted in the United States, (if the draft were reinstated for some reason), 71% would be disqualified from service, due to weight problems, intelligence problems and mental health problems.

There has been a perfect storm brewing for a while. The chemicals we are exposed to is enormous, the schools are failing, parents are not properly parenting, the list goes on. The only real surprise is that it's only 71%.

@curiosi ... And the food ...

@ozgirl512 Especially the food! Loaded with chemicals!

@curiosi I think one of the greatest cons every was McDonald's getting away with calling themselves a restaurant

@ozgirl512 I just read where the burgers are only a very small percentage of beef, the rest is fillers.

@curiosi the bottom line is to make money...a few cents saved here... They were caught out in India...Hindus don't eat beef and Macca's said the chips were safe... But they were pre cooked in lard ... So I can believe what you say about fillers

@ozgirl512 Wow that's awful. I have a friend that is Hindi, very strict about that kind of stuff.
