Remember the old 70s commercials from Special K cereal saying that if you can pinch more than an inch you need to lose weight?
Where did those standards go? Why can so many Americans now pinch a foot instead of an inch.
I've got a theory and would like to turn my independent study into a scientific one. Is anyone capable of assisting?
People say that the reason people are fat now is because people just sit around. Kids don't go out and run around and play in the dirt with their Matchbox cars anymore, they sit in front of the TV and play video games and eat.
At first, I even thought that was the case until I really put some thinking into the subject...
People also say "Oh, don't eat carbs, especially white rice, they are bad for you and will make you gain serious weight."
Well, look at the world around you people. I know plenty of asians who eat white rice all the time and they are ultra skinny people. And they sit around and play games too...
So by now you are asking "Oh Eric, just what is your theory then?"
Well, I am happy to tell you.
Hormones.
Ta-Da, that's it. We inject our cows and chickens with hormones to make them bigger and fatter so we can carve more meat off of them. Then, we eat the same meat that has been infused with all of those fat hormones.
Again, it comes back to our asian friends. Most of the asians that I know eat so much more seafood than beef. To my knowledge I haven't heard of the Gordon's fisherman parading around the oceans giving fat hormones to the fish...
It makes sense if you think about it.
I would like to start a free range diet where the meat has no hormones in it and see what happens...

I have an add on to your theory my dear...first I think you are right! But I also think that hormones injected meat and dairy products are the reason why all the young girls now have big boobs! You see 12 year old girls girls that are huge! That wasn't the case before hormoones were added...just more food for thought!
Hmm, interesting!
I also have a wrench thrown in my theory and that is Atkins. People on that diet eat nothing but meat but lose weight.
Eric,
You know in my work I see research all the time. Your sister is right on with new studies and theories they're looking into. Not only are 12 yr olds having bigger boobs, but the average age of first menses gets earlier each year!
They are looking to see if there's a link to the BGH (bovine growth hormone) and increased estrogen/progesterone/testosterone.
good luck on the independent studies.....which take years to access/test out. Scientific are only performed by trained professionals in the particular field making a point.The hormone issue started with cattle in the late 80's/early 90's which is a proven fact to cause obesity in some.
If you are aware of sea food not causing weight,why not eat more of it?
Good Luck!
