What ISP's say to companies who want to use the internet, "Either you pay us to access your customers, or we break your kneecaps." This is about both monopolies and mafia business tactics.

GOJIRA!!!

I'm not sure if this is the place for an anecdote, but here we go. And just to give a warning, this is from an American perspective.

I am the first born. My mother has told me that she would could the amount of protein she would get each day during her pregnancy with me. If she didn't get enough she would each more or drink a large glass of milk to try and supplement her diet. She didn't drink soda either.

With my younger brother she tried to make sure she ate enough protein, though she gave up not drinking soda.

With the youngest, my sister, she was working part time during her pregnancy and wasn't able to watch what she ate like with either me or my brother.

This all being said, we are no where near malnutrition. There is a considerable size difference between me and my siblings. I am 6'4" and have considerably larger bone structure than my siblings. (I'm not fat/obese/heavy. I only weigh 193 lbs.)

My brother is just a 6' and considerably smaller than I am. My sister is smaller than my brother and has a similar bone structure.

Might there be a biological imperative to ensure that the first born is healthy. Then with the later children parent lose the need to ensure their children are as healthy.

I'm sorry, but my first thought from the title was only drink water. Then you'd be very sober.

I know! In the US you have "free speech" zones. You can get fenced in and say whatever you like. How is that any better? We have governments that are entrenched and don't want to change. They use their powers and then the majority of people are shocked when they find out.

I don't think the world has changed much since WWII, just that the crimes are more nuanced and better hidden.

hmm just to state the obvious. the usa is not the same country i was born in as it is today. patriot act and surveillance shit. though i don't live there any more either.
