Liberals to blame for the faster onset of puberty!

[Mountainman]

I was over in freeperville to see how they are handling the slide in the chimp's poll numbers and came across a post about British schools wanting to teach sex education to kids aged 5 to 16. One reason they gave was the earlier onset of puberty in children today.

This is one freepers reply. I didn't know we were in cotrol of human biology too!

The onset of puberty is faster because liberals push it. These poor kids have no chance of a free childhood. The fast & loose messages swirl around them with no let up. TV, radio, "fashion"... Society has taken their childhood away. It didn't just "happen." IMHO

1. They may have a point! I've definitely been a liberal ever since I first

noticed hair down there! :evilgrin:

[jiacinto]

2. They are right in one sense

Children get much more nutrition and health care today because of liberals. And thus puberty is happening at an earlier age because childrean are better nourished and are in better health.

15. bingo...

... you are correct.

[scarletwoman]

3. Puberty is happening earlier because

of all the FREAKIN' HORMONES in the meat supply! :grr:

4. Dunno about that, but the explanation in post #2

...is actually totally correct and noncontroversial.

[RememberJohn]

8. Which, I'll bet, was republican policy...

12. And the Dairy supply

Dairy Cows are pumped full of hormones to keep them lactating constantly.

Girls who drink a lot of milk hit puberty a lot faster than girls who drink only a little or none at all.

Children should NEVER drink milk, unless it's organic. Soy milk has estrogen, so they shouldn't drink that either.

Rice milk or organic milk for kids, Moms!

13. hmmm

Most kids drink more soda than milk these days.

[Sophree]

17. Sad, but true

And possibly even more damaging to children's health.

16. I agree with you about cow's milk but not soy

It's possible that the phytoestrogens in soy actually block the uptake of human estrogen by receptor cells, producing the opposite effect. I think the jury's still out on that one.
But there are a lot of hormones in milk and meat and that could be the cause of early onset of puberty. The problem was serious in Puerto Rico a while back -- prebuscent girls and boys sprouting breasts -- and was traced to high hormone levels in chicken meat.

18. Is that why pregnant women should avoid soy?

I assumed it was because it contained estrogen.

I learn something new everyday on DU. You all are so well informed!

Still, if the jury's still out, it's better safe than sorry. I don't think you want to feed kids anything than could mess with their hormone levels.

5. The pukes have only themselves to blame

Think about it! All the media is owned and operated by them, and they can't escape the fact no matter how often they cry "librul' media!" Our media compels people to buy things and that is clearly a mark of a republican.

They have but themselves to blame. Nobody else.

6. All that smutty crap is CAPITALISM UNFETTERED

just how they like it. And which is the smuttiest broadcast channel? Of course, it's right-wing mogul Murdoch's Fox!

What a bunch of BS. How do they say that shit with a straight face?

[msmcghee]

10. Correct

A huge part of advertising plays on people's fear of "not being sexy". As soon as you become the least bit anxious about your appeal to the opposite (or same) sex those ads start pushing your buttons.

[Iris]

14. exactly

Fox's mid-afternoon news program on it's regular stations makes me CRINGE.

[msmcghee]

7. What evidence is there that puberty is earlier?

I'd suspect puberty is about where it always was. And sexuality is just less restrained than in our recent (Victorian) past. I thought that during the Roman Empire kids got it on quite early in many cases. Even man/boy sex was quite common.

But I'm just guessing - do you have data?

[Maccagirl]

9. To see how powerful we liberals are

obviously we only need to visit Freeperville. Thanks guys-my self esteem has never been higher!!!! Behold the great and powerful OZZZ!!

:bounce:

[msmcghee]

11. Yes, I like to lurk there too.

It's good to see how screwed up those folks really are. Makes me feel downright normal.
