Does anyone else believe that most of us are on hormone therapy? Let me explain...?

Have you noticed that in every generation, the children are getting bigger and developing earlier than the previous generation? I see high school girls that have bodies like barbie dolls and the boys look like pro wrestlers. I don't remember seeing girls like that when I was in high school.

My opinion is that it comes from milk, beef, and chicken. The hormones and steroids they feed the cows and chickens to produce more milk and grow faster is entering our bodies directly as we eat them. I saw a show on Discovery Ch. that says a chicken can be fully grown in 30 to 45 days. Incredible! Girls are hitting puberty 3 years earlier than just 50 years ago. Average height in 1960 was 5'8" (men) and 5'3" (women), now it's 5'9 1/2" and 5'4", respectively. And average male weight went from 166 lbs to 191 lbs. A 25 lb. increase! Some blame the fast food industry, but I think it's the hormones.

What do you think?

Update:

Is it a good thing or a bad thing for the human race? I don't see it affecting adults so much, except for increased body weight and possibly the health problems that go along with that. But I can see it clearly in our children. I there anything we can do to stop it? Do we even want to?

    No, I wouldn't consider it as hormone therapy- a therapy directed to us....

    It just due to the effects of the various intake of processed food and vitamins...without us being aware of what's really going with all of these combined- until many years of observation.

    Both. Hormone Heredity is a good effect on Generations, and yes, I've seen good HH in between the years 1988-1993, some of those kids to have bodies like frickin' supermodels and pro-wrestlers. So, I blame both the Industry and the Hereditites of the Family.

    Its called evolution my man evolution or devolution in a way. We try and get the most food the quicker and since the dawn of time its been like that. The more we eat and have a good alimentation the better the human race will do and the longer it will survive.
