+1 I know more couples my age that needed fertility treatments in our early 30s than those that didn't. Even colleagues that are just 5-10 years older than me used to bother the younger women about when we were going to have kids. People my age know not to do that, since chances are there are fertility issues at play.

What will society do when the majority realize it was all allowed to happen, and even pushed to happen in some areas, on purpose, for this reason?
Part of the slowing the birth rate agenda.

Thanks for posting this. Very interesting about clothing.

Petroleum products are ubiquitous in modern society. There is plastic in just about everything now, since it really took off over the last 50 years. 50 years prior to that, plastics going back to the first ones in the early 1900s were rarely used much other than in molded hardened forms. Formaldehyde was the main off gassing toxin for them, now it's much more.

Again, our government has been poisoning us for decades.

Well yeah, and it's hard to get away from the toxins.

This. It’s an effort to wrestle my kids into jeans, now that he knows about technical clothing.

Depopulation is their goal, people, wake up.
Meanwhile, Dcum is limited to what feels cozy.

Everyone is doing to need to get comfortable with owning fewer items of clothing. When you look at old houses, the closets were tiny. I’m no longer purchasing any new clothing that isn’t at least 90% natural fibers. Unfortunately, that means a lot of my favorite mall brands are out.

Really, we only need about eight outfits for each season. One outfit for each day of the week, plus something dressier. My own closet is stuffed, probably because I struggle with my weight in middle age. OOTD culture is also creating the hunger for more clothing. I remember falling prey to that in my 20s.

If more adjustable clothing came into fashion, it would be much healthier for everyone.

They keep finding it in the reproductive tissues of humans, and even in the cerebrospinal fluid, IIRC. Single use plastics need to be phased out. We are currently trying to eliminate as much plastics as we can for all of our liquid and food containers and cookware.

OK, and what specific health problems are evident because of this? I'm being snarky, but "plastics bad" is just as lazy.

I’m sure it’s great, Barb. God created Eve with plastic in her ovaries for a reason amirite?
