These transformations are tied to the changing American diet. Since the early 1980s, America’s per-person cheese consumption has doubled, largely in the form of mozzarella-covered pizza pies. And last year, for the first time, the average American ate 100 pounds of chicken, twice the amount 40 years ago.

      That is natalist propaganda.

      Infinite growth isn’t possible. And there is no eugenics. EVERYONE needs to slow down

          And how do you suppose we don’t have infinite growth if people are encouraged to have as many kids as possible?

              Sure you are. You are telling people that we can continue growing for eternity with no damage to the environment.

              Or do you agree each additional child adds further stress to the environment?

                  Rich from the guy claiming I’m a eugenicist.

                  But you admit my premise is sound.

        your propaganda campaign isn’t addressing everyone equally. if it’s successful at all, it will disproportionately effect one segment of the population.

          Facts are not propaganda.

          And, no, it won’t. Hell, I’d rather rich people stop having kids more than any other demographic. They use by far the most resources.

            , no, it won’t.

            anyone who doesn’t have Internet access or who can’t read English can’t be effected by your propaganda campaign.

                  No, I am 100% sure you are both wrong and a complete douche.

            facts are propaganda when stated in the context of attempting to induce a political position.

              So you admit everything I said is a fact?

              But, no. Propaganda is misleading. And yours is propaganda.

                Propaganda is misleading.

                not necessarily. it can be dishonest by simply not giving all the facts.

                    you aren’t being honest about the fact that any policy or even propaganda campaign aimed at reducing birth rates will necessarily be eugenicist since it will disproportionately impact each demographic differently.
