[ExI] How the world collapses

[William Flynn Wallace]

​

When it comes to health, it is worth noticing that the health of people in
developed countries (where we likely have the richest mix of molecules) is
increasing and far better than in counties where we can expect a more
'natural' environment (Anders)

That is doomed to fall, given the horrendous epidemic in obesity, which is
increasing in every country that is eating a Western diet.  High blood
pressure and diabetes accompany obesity as well.  Just a thought:  is this
the first time in history that poor people are fat?  Mississippi has to be
one of the fattest places in the world.  Blacks and whites - not just fat,
obese and superobese.  According to late figures more than 1/3 of
Mississippians are obese.  I have to doubt that laziness and pork ribs are
the whole answer.​
​  Helminthic therapy and a more natural distribution of gut bacteria may
be some answers, but I still suspect chemicals.​


​I do raise a lot of my food, but notice that poor people don't even when
they have the space.  Now that is just lazy.  wfw​
