Grooming definitely plays a part. They have been really ramping this up in recent years from many sources. They are rabidly targeting our children at younger and younger ages.

Hormones most certainly are a huge factor.

Our hormonal system is very delicate for starters so it is easy to disrupt it.

We have years and years of hormones being flushed down the toilet from birth control pills and such ending up in our drinking water.

We also have massive amounts of hormones in the commercial meat and dairy industries. They put growth hormones in everything to make it reach market weight in much less time. Chickens are so fat they can’t even stand up. I’m convinced this has a major impact on worldwide obesity rates. Cows are given hormones to produce more milk. Chickens are given hormones to produce more eggs. Chickens are given hormones ( and are more than likely GMOd) to produce giant white meat breasts. Beef cattle are given hormones to reach market weight in as short a time as possible. Then of course all of this makes its way to our drinking water also.
