US Life Expectancy Dropping

This is health food.

How on earth do we keep talking about how much “progress” we’ve got going on in this country when people are literally dying younger?

It’s absurd to say “oh yes, you’re dying faster, but you are having more anal sex than ever before and men are using women’s bathrooms and cutting their penises off at a rate never before imagined.”

Do not even normies see how absurd this is?

Wall Street Journal:

Americans are dying from heart disease at a faster rate, stalling four decades of gains against the nation’s leading killer and driving up the U.S. mortality rate overall.

The death rate from heart disease rose 0.9% last year, according to U.S. mortality data released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The death rate also rose 3% for stroke, the fifth-leading cause of death in the U.S.

Both changes, which researchers tie in large part to the rise in obesity and diabetes, helped push life expectancy down by one-tenth of a percentage point, to 78.8 years, according to the CDC.

Cardiovascular disease has been the biggest killer in the U.S. for more than a century. But death rates from heart disease in the U.S. have declined nearly 70% since 1969, brought about by antismoking and other public-health campaigns, the advent of medications to control blood pressure and cholesterol, and new techniques for saving peoples’ lives from heart attacks.

The decline in heart-related deaths has been so precipitous, in fact, that until 2011 heart disease was poised to drop below cancer as the leading cause of death in the U.S., researchers say. But then the downward trajectory suddenly slowed at that point and remained slow until the heart disease death rate rose in 2015.

“It’s a definite milestone in the wrong direction, and the concern a lot of us have is that it reflects largely the approximately three-decade-long epidemic of obesity,” said Stephen Sidney, senior research scientist with the Kaiser Permanente Northern California division of research, who led a study published earlier this year that pinpointed the halt in progress against heart disease.

As far as heart-disease goes, the Daily Stormer endorses the paleo diet. I’m working on putting together a bigger guide to this diet plan in the near future, with more information on how to death with losing weight, gaining weight, etc., including intermittent fasting and other aspects of the perfect diet plan.

But look.

People dying faster as a statistic indicates that you have an endemic social problem. Social problems cannot be put down to individuals making bad decisions, because the concept of “individuals collectively make individual decisions in a pattern” is nonsensical. If large numbers of people change their behavior, there is a sociological reason for it that goes beyond personal choices.

And the government, as we have seen, clearly has no issue with social-engineering programs. If the country as a whole is just making bad diet decisions, programs could be implemented to correct this.

Beyond people allegedly choosing to eat less healthy food, you have the issue of the food itself that is being sold tending to be much less healthy than ever before, which is absolutely a place where the government could intervene and pass regulations normalizing food production in a way that is beneficial to the public.

And yet, no.

Instead we get government programs in support of homosexual anal sex, feminism, forced racial integration, transsexualism and various other abject insanity, while public health is not only ignored, but actively attacked through further deregulation of food safety standards.

We have a situation here which needs to be dealt with, or at the very least, explained.

It would be one thing if we lived in some sort of fully libertarian anarcho-capitalist society. I don’t support that, but then we would have an explanation as to why food safety isn’t being regulated by the government. But we don’t have that. We have a society where the government will literally force you to allow men in women’s bathrooms at you private establishment. You are forced to hire racial minorities and women at your business against your will.

We live in the exact opposite of a libertarian society, and yet if you looked at the way food safety is regulated, you’d think we were living the Rothbardian dream.

To be honest, I’m not especially happy with the guy Trump is currently considering for the head of the FDA. Jim O’Neill, an associate of Peter Thiel that Thiel is pushing for, is a libertarian.

The media is focusing on the fact he would make it easier to get drugs on the market so people could use them at their own risk. That may or may not be a good thing – I don’t really know or care, as I don’t use pharmaceuticals and wouldn’t encourage anyone else to either. And it may be better to just open that up, as the system is so corrupt right now, anything can get on the market if it’s got the right backing, and nothing can get on the market if it doesn’t. I tend to think libertarianism is never the solution to strangling, corrupt regulations and crony capitalism, but who knows.

What I am more concerned about personally is food safety regulations. I haven’t seen O’Neill’s plan for that, but if he’s a libertarian, I don’t imagine I would think very much of it.

We have to regulate the amount of soy, corn and sugar that is being put into processed food. This has become a complete disaster.

All this having been said, much of the problem is in education. People are made to believe that it is healthy to eat whole grains, and it simply is not. In fact, virtually no processed food are healthy or even safe for human consumption. A program to educate people on this fact could go along way.

The government launched a massive campaign on smoking which cut down the use of cigarettes to nearly a third of what it was in the sixties. And this food we’re eating is a lot more dangerous than cigarettes.

However, that program included not just education, but huge tax hikes on cigarettes. If a box of sugar-corn cereal was $35, then I think a lot of parents would start taking the time to cook their kids – and themselves – eggs and bacon instead.

Skip the toast. Potatoes or rice. Also, either fry in the grease from the bacon, or use real 100% butter.

I see no reason why a similar program couldn’t be launched against processed foods, while at the same time passing regulations which prohibit known toxins from being distributed at unsafe levels.

There are obviously a lot of other factors contributing to the health decline in this country. Plastic is a big one. But the biggest is the obesity crisis. And it isn’t difficult to solve.

Donald Trump, we hand this over to you, buddy.
