Site is a link aggregation of a series of blog posts that cite various studies about the mystery of why the obesity rate is increasing, and why the rate of increase is itself accelerating. Authors make a compelling argument that normal homeostatic processes (the theorized lipostat specifically) tend to keep people within a certain BMI range. Authors argue that environmental contamination is breaking the lipostat, driving obesity rates upwards, and faster where there's more contamination.

Interesting read and a great reason to switch to :vegan-v: with a focus on not buying anything wrapped in plastic.

    Yeah, didn't realize that this blog is where I first read several of these arguments; the link was for A Chemical Hunger, and I was familiar with Slime Mold Time Mold, which it turns out is the same blog, just different name. What I get for skimming rather than reading before leaving a comment haha

    At the time I read it, it lacked several of the side-bars and edits it has now, as I seem to remember them going harder on Lithium as the culprit, but I don't know if that's because of edits, or because I misread or forgot exactly what it said
