Dr Oz and MTG. Strange bedfellows indeed.Have we as a country been degraded to the point where Dr. Oz is the voice of reason, sanity, and restraint?
I sure hope that remains either a metaphor or extremely private. I'm really not into projectile vomiting.Dr Oz and MTG. Strange bedfellows indeed.
Re: Age of first menstruation, why would you jump straight to "chemicals" when we're (obviously, imo) going to find that advances in nutrition due to declining childhood poverty since the nineteen-frickin-fifties is the driver here.Prior fact checks of these RFK claims:

RFK Jr.'s warnings about sperm counts fuel doomsday claims about male fertility
The health secretary has warned about falling sperm counts in teens. Doctors say the reality is far more nuanced and little cause for panic.
“… Contrary to Kennedy’s claims, sperm counts decline with age, so young men have much higher counts than older men. And data about sperm counts in teen boys largely does not exist.
Some researchers contend that men’s overall sperm counts are lower than they were generations ago, based mostly on two papers published in the last decade. Others say there’s no convincing evidence of the trend. And many agree that even if sperm counts are declining, it does not amount to a full-blown fertility crisis.
“This is a very contentious issue in our field, and for every paper that you find that suggests a decline and raises an alarm for this issue, there’s another paper that says that the numbers aren’t changing, and that there’s no cause for concern,” said Dr. Scott Lundy, a reproductive urologist at the Cleveland Clinic.…”
There are 2.5x as many humans living on this planet as there were on the day I was born.Parents not having children is a new one.

Most of us are college educated and know full well (in the back of our minds , whether we want admit it to ourselves consciously or not) what this sort of a population-over-time graph represents.
We've all swallowed some sort of big lie that "more population over time" is the hard requirement for sustained economic growth. It's long past time (50 years overdue) that we started to question that article of faith.
As usual the knuckleheads are barking up the polar opposite wrong tree.
In many ways we used to be a much more honest and open society. We used to be able to talk publicly about something like overpopulation. Those of us old enough will remember that Meathead and Gloria on the Archie Bunker show were explicitly planning to not have children because of overpopulation. I haven't hear any public figure in any capacity dare to address overpopulation directly in the last four or so decades. There are at least some ways we've deeply regressed as a nation over the intervening decades (another example would be the marginal tax rates of at first millionaires and then billionaires).Haven’t these people watched Soylent Green?
