Back in the 1920s they successfully treated anorexia with insulin, recognizing that it was a metabolic disorder and not a psychological one. But then along came the psychologists and they needed a reason to exist.

I’d wager that 95%+ of these problems are to do with the absolute shit diet that is consumed in the West, full of sugar, glyphosate/pesticides/chemicals, seed oils, fake coloring, and fake genetically modified crap, for a short list. Throw in some SSRIs and ADHD drugs from the age of six, and you can end civilization faster than you can say Hannibal.

Really well done, original, beautifully written and a window into a reality I had no idea about. I have a 32 year old daughter caught in a career trap. Hopefully she will get out of it before it's too late. I also have a 34 year old son I tried to steer away from porn at age 13. That didn't go too well either, but at least he married and has had one kid, so far. Parents need to refuse their kids all screens. But some 2-3 year-olds among extended family are already addicted. Oh well. It's all coming down soon, in chaos and madness. Best wishes.. from a new Zinnia subscriber.
