There is no arguing that obesity is becoming more prevalent in the world as the years go by, along with the similarly dangerous problem of the changing climate, it would not be unreasonable to believe that there must be a culprit behind these global issues seemingly destroying our way of life. But where is this culprit, and why have they not been brought to justice? Because they are hiding in plain sight. Disguised as a form of liberation designed by a power hungry and mentally unstable league of social justice warriors called Feminists.

Feminism is becoming more prevalent in the world than any other major psychological disorder, and alone is on par with ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and every other mental disorder combined in the United States. A study published by the “US National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health”, according to “Table 1”, state that “47.4 percent of the US population have some level of mental disorder including substance abuse”(US Table 1). According to a study done by the “Public Religion Research Institute”, this is only 0.4% higher than the number of self-identifying millennial feminists in American today (). This prevalence of feminism is directly related to the destruction of modern society, in that it supported the exemption of women in the kitchen, and the prevalence of a hungry society.

Feminists, in their power drunken state, have urged women to get out of the kitchen and leave behind their hungry children and husbands to starve. According to Janet Flammang, a renowned political scientist, in her new book called “The Taste for Civilization: Food, Politics, and Civil Society”: “By denigrating ‘Foodwork’—everything involved in putting meals on the family table—[Feminists] have unthinkingly wrecked…the family meal”. With the Family meal almost completely out of the picture, fast food corporations along with major food production companies have been able to take advantage of hungry America, and obesity has begun to reign down upon our great nation, bringing with it the side effects of increased greenhouse gasses. Less and less families are partaking in home cooked meals more than a few times a year for holidays. This has left much of America with no choice but to outsource for sustenance and survival. With the rise in the popularity of fast foods and microwavable meals, America has become extremely unhealthy (2 out of every 3 Americans are now overweight), and in need of the caloric balance provided in the traditional home cooked family meal.

From the rise in mass produced food products established by companies taking advantage of the hungry American, rose an ulterior problem; increased greenhouse gasses and a rise in global warming. Michael Pollan, a respected voice in the ‘food movement’, in his book “The Omnivores Dilemma” states that if the sixteen million acres used to grow feed corn in order to keep up with the new demand for meats became well-managed pastures, “it would remove fourteen billion pounds of carbon from the atmosphere, the equivalent to taking fourteen million cars off the road”(Michael 198). This is equivalent to 1/5 of the world’s yearly greenhouse gas production. A problem that seemed to develop alongside the reduction in traditional family meals, and increase of convenience food popularity.

I don’t think Feminists meant for this to happen, in fact, I give them the benefit of the doubt in saying the majority of them probably support action against climate change, but there is no doubt that they have had serious influence on the problem. If Americans are looking for someone or something to blame for the current state of obesity and the growing production of greenhouse gasses causing climate change, maybe it’s time we start looking at the real problem; the fall of traditional family roles and the influence of Feminism on Americas abandoned families.

How about you cite where you got this from? The article mentions a table, but I don't see one here. That makes me think this comes from somewhere else.

But some random comments:
- Indeed, the unpopularity of home cooked meals has caused many problems, including obesity.
- The delay, lack, and failure of family formation creates the necessity for multiple households. This gives rise to huge inefficiencies and a duplication of efforts: cooking, cleaning, heating costs, use of land, etc.
- Two people must also now commute instead of one. Twice as many people on the road now, making traffic worse.
- I think global warming is BS. I have yet to see a data release that provides unaltered raw temperature measurements showing a rise over time. For sake of argument, the destruction of the birthrate resulting from feminism would mean less mouths to feed and less future energy consumers. The effect of feminism may be neutral on carbon footprint.

Hey, I wasn't going to respond this soon but I figured I'd throw in a little more information real quick (don't have much time right now). I wrote this for a personal project I'm putting togeather and I thought I'd get you guys to critique it and see what you think.

I definitely think that there is something oddly true about this topic.

Women/feminists definitely want a warmer climate -- inside (and most likely outside):

The majority of those on anti-depressants and bi-polar medications are women (of which a great multitude are feminists) and are overweight/obese:

Simply put, nuclear families are more efficient and consume less than single parent families
