We had some friends over for dinner the other night, and had to accommodate someone who was gluten free. While we did so gladly, it raised a question.
When we were growing up 70s-80s, why was there not this huge amount of people with things like peanut allergies, autism, and the like. I'm sure that, as far as the autism spectrum, that there were probably kids who were, but weren't officially diagnosed and probably the same for other things. I'm not saying that these things didn't exist, but they were definitely not as common.
I'm sure that there are many reasons for this, but I can't help but think that the confluence of Big Pharma, Big Food, and Big Government has something to do with it. I absolutely appreciate many the medicines I take, yet I also acknowledge that part of the reason I take them is because I choose not to make the lifestyle changes that I should make. Yet, I can't help but wonder about the insane number of "vaccines" that children are "required" to take. Some I completely get, others not so much. Yet again, I can't help but wonder how much Big Pharma donating millions to Big Government might affect those requirements.
Likewise, I look at the vast amounts of money generated by the Trans Medical Industrial Complex and wonder how many people are being mutilated because there is a financial reward for the service providers. How many "therapists" push kids to "trans" because they get compensated more to do so.
I'm trying to to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but when you look at the round robin of huge money that flows between Big Pharma, Big Food, and Big Government, it seems like it might be worth taking a look at the relationships and whether or not they're above board.
On a related topic, EBT. Why are companies who sell unhealthy foods so intent on lobbying for EBT to be allowed to pay for junk food? Isn't it job of government to look out for the best interest of it's citizens? If so, they why is EBT allowed to pay for unlimited unhealthy food? The excuse is the people need "treats". Except isn't the very nature of a "treat" that they aren't an everyday occurrence? Cake and ice cream for a birthday, sure. But is Coke and a candy bar every day really something that the Feds should be paying for? Call me crazy, but if you're using other people's money to buy food, and likely other people's money for your health care, then shouldn't you be using a modicum of responsibility for how you use what other people provide for you? Better food choices, lead to less need for medical services, which stretches out the budget for everyone.

That's not how it works at all, Craig. This is a free country and no one has the authority to dictate how others live their lives. We're just supposed to be ready to cover their mistakes and selfish demands with as much money as they need.
You see, they can demand anything from the haves, while the haves are prohibited from suggesting anything to the have nots. Just keep sending the have nots money, no questions asked.
I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not. So, I'll leave it there.
