Peak Empire: Glut, Fast Food, Web Addiction, Drugs and Alcohol Plague Unhealthy American Youth

After reading the information contained in this article, you will probably find yourself questioning if America is going to be able to survive for much longer, because our young people are a complete and total mess. Yes, all generations of Americans have had their problems, but this generation appears to be particularly screwed up. Obesity rates are at all-time highs, a third of all American teens have not read a single book within the past year, and the average high school senior spends six hours a day on the Internet. On top of all that, we are seeing unprecedented levels of suicide, drug overdoses and liver disease (due to heavy drinking) among our young people.

Like other empires throughout world history, will we be undone by our own excesses?

Let’s start by talking about obesity. At this point, so many of our young people are overweight that military recruiters are having a very difficult time finding enough “suitable candidates for military service”…

The study, featuring roughly 18,000 randomly selected participants across each of the service branches, showed that almost 66 percent of service members are considered to be either overweight or obese, based on the military’s use of body mass index as a measuring standard.

While the number of overweight service members is a cause for concern, it correlates with the obesity epidemic plaguing the United States, where, as of 2015, one in three young adults are considered too fat to enlist, creating a difficult environment for recruiters to find suitable candidates for military service.

Right now, obesity among U.S. adults is at an all-time high, and one of the big reasons for this is because about a third of us are stuffing our faces with fast food on a daily basis.

The following comes from ABC News… archive.fo/FRdfH

A government study has found that 1 in 3 U.S. adults eat fast food on any given day. That’s about 85 million people.

It’s the first federal study to look at how often adults eat fast food. An earlier study found a similar proportion of children and adolescents ate it on any given day.

I was absolutely stunned when I saw that. 85 million people a day are eating fast food? No wonder we have such a problem.

Another brand new study found that one-third of all American teenagers haven’t read a single book in the past year…

A new study of American teenagers and their reading habits finds that a third haven’t read a book — in hardcopy or on a device like a Kindle — in the past year.

Researchers from San Diego State University took a look at data from four decades of a “nationally-based lifestyle survey studying teens,” StudyFinds.com reports. In total, more than a million teens provided information.

To me, this is a tremendous indictment of our system of education.

Even if these kids are not reading on their own, our schools should be forcing them to read books.

This really hits home for me, because I love to read. In fact, I don’t know where I would be today if I had not spent enormous amounts of time reading books on my own while I was growing up.

Sadly, instead of reading books our high school seniors are spending an average of six hours a day on “social media, texting, gaming and surfing the web”…

“The meteoric rise of internet-based activities cannot be understated: between social media, texting, gaming, and surfing the web, the average high school senior spent six hours a day online in 2016 — double the time from a decade earlier. Eighth graders (4 hours a day) and tenth graders (5 hours a day) didn’t lag far behind,” the report finds.

Six hours a day?

That is almost a full-time job.

This website is about demoralizing and destabilizing Americans, not empowering them. Fuck off faggot.

No user. To fix things and provide solutions - which I often try to do - you first have to have the guts to look at some of the problems. We do have some problems that need to be addressed and drug abuse / unhealthy diets is one rut America is in that we can get ourselves out of. Be positive.

Sell all your gold, folks! It's garbage.

Here's how every American can empower themselves: turn off the TV and cut the cable. It is used for mass brainwashing and to turn you all into mindless unproductive consumers. Start eating organic non-GMO certified foods, avoid soda and fast food, avoid processed junk foods. Exercise more often. By doing this you will strengthen your immune system (you must have a healthy immune system to fight off sickness and disease). Do more to become self-sufficient and be prepared for hard times (your chance of survival will increase significantly). Pro-create but be cautious of quick relationships. You want to get to KNOW your partner before you ever get married and living together a few years is a good way to practice and mitigate any pitfalls that may have occurred during a marriage. Avoid debts as much as possible, consider living away from populated overpriced cities and moving into a more affordable area. Instead of college choose trade school. Or go to a community college if need be. Avoid the major leftist universities though. Ditch unnecessary overpriced merchandise (such as iPhones) and instead use a cheap burner phone to save money. Avoid social media services (like Instragram, Facebook, etc) which spy on you and sell all your private info. Don't allow them to control you like that.

The only thing I'd do with my gold and silver is barter it for other assets of value if need be. Precious metal will always remain of value unlike fiat currencies. It should be used as a hedge - NOT an investment. And ETFs on the market are SHIT, not real, just fraudulent junk to keep the prices low so greedy fucks can buy it all up physically while they shill so hard against others owning physical.

Right now, the price to flee a country like Venezuela is an ounce of physical gold. Think about that for a while. People can no longer access gold or silver in third world nations like Venezuela anymore…. so the intrinsic value of precious metals in those hellholes is enormous.

Elsewhere, Randy Brito, a Venezuelan whose family moved to Spain in 2004 due to the worsening economic situation, has been speaking about his non-profit organization BitcoinVenezuela.com which tries to educate people in the country about bitcoin.

"I’ve been educating about bitcoin in Venezuela since 2012, in our website, in social media, with collaborators in the country who gave talks, supporting local groups teaching about bitcoin there, running campaigns, giving interviews, podcasts. Besides trying to educate about economics, fighting Socialism both in Venezuela and Spain," Brito said via a Reddit Ask Me Anything, yesterday.

"We believe in turning BTC to a common medium of exchange in the country," Brito said in response a Reddit user question.

This is the kind of reaction I'd expect from a bunch of fat feminists getting criticized on a college campus. "Calling us fat and lazy is demoralizing and we need empowering language here. Fuck off, misogynist." When you reach a problem this bad, it's time to sit everyone the fuck down, state what the problem is, and actually deal with it. Pretending everything is fine and everyone is amazing just because they're in the USA hasn't helped anyone with this issue. Come on, user.

There are an influx of (((anons))) who pretend they are from around here but hate everything this website stands for. The easiest target, therefore, is the USA because it allows you to have things like anonymity, community, etc. Even if it's just on paper and not a reality. They are quite easy to spot if you're paying attention; try not to talk to them.

This thread is not intended to bash America, relax. Its meant to say "look, we have a problem anons, more of us are dying from unhealthy lifestyles, what can we do to fix this?"

High IQ comment.

Good advice except for the:
In the current environment female hypergamy is running wild and unchecked—the culture even encourages it because it generates shekels for (((them))). Jew media will figuratively murder anyone that publicly criticize female behavior. When men like Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Trump, Elon Musk, and Robin Williams get fucked by female hypergamy what chance does the average man have? What's that?—they should've lifted and held frame more, be more confident and alpha? LoL. Cunts can't be satisfied for long. Evolution programmed them this way. Our culture(mainly other cunts and religion) used to suppress their hypergamy but not anymore. Feminism put cunts true nature on full display. Open your fuckin eyes.

You have two options, you could use sluts for fucking and dumping the same way they would use you…. or you could try finding a nice woman that you can have a relationship with, and inevitably talk to her about living with you (without marriage). Regardless most women are greedy whores today there are still some that are not. It may be difficult to find the right one though, and anyone who considers marriage should at least try living with their partner for a few years first as a beta test. Then, if everything goes right and you two are happy with one another, you could take the next step. Its either that, or never get married or have a family.

BTW I know a couple who did exactly this. They decided to live with one another for two full years. It worked out OK, and they are currently married. I don't talk to them too often, but last time I saw them they were together so it seems like its working out for them.

when will you start cleaning up your fucking country, burgeranons?

Oy vey

Maybe if you actually said something intelligent once in your life you would get the same response.

nope, she has to pass the "ten year test" before you consider her as a real life partner and possible mother to your kids.
extreme times call for extreme measures.
never give a woman the benefit of the doubt because the risk is too high in the feminist west

Found the illiterate fat retard

freeze her eggs, dope

better yet, marry a traditional asian woman and buy some aryan eggs she can surrogate with

Enjoy freezer burn retard babies then. Have fun for paying that bullshit.

Some of us actually want healthy children.

Enjoy your chimeric nigger babies with your coal-burning thot

All virgin Aryan girls should have their eggs harvested and sold on the open market by the time they reach puberty tbh

>>>/cuckchan/ for both you and the amerinigger who thinks anyone criticising his shitty country is der erwige jude.

(((Schickelgruber)))

Criticism is one thing, absolute disdain is another. It's quite telling too. Why do you hate the US so much? There is plenty to not like about it but the same could be said about literally any country. You're so easy to spot. Try camouflage once in a while.

No one has disdain for America. Anti-slide.


Do what you feel is right. If you think living together for 10 years before marriage will solidify trust then perhaps it will. Trust is key, trust among each other. To trust each other you must live with one another for a while and see how it works out. Its only common sense and like you said, desperate times call for desperate measures. When men are being taken advantage of by woman and having assets seized over divorces, then men will have to change the concept of marriage proposals to mitigate that threat.

Yes. It is the same thing every time. Don't you know, those that hoard gold will always stagnate? They forget the spiritual principles and this is the outcome. They weren't fit to lead a people and their people show this considering they have the mental faculties they possess. Everything belongs to everyone and this country treats its own WORSE than foreigners. All they care about is weather or not you follow the rules, not if you're a good person, full of merit, or anything important. Because they lack the energy for it to be relevant after slaving away hours only to eat some food so they can prepare, like good slaves, to do it again.

Gonna correct that for you.


Because the country was shitty and these people lied to themselves about it to escape it in their other bubbles considering they know, deep down, that voting is a fucking joke and the only real power to change anything is to have an army like the enemy does. Easier said than to belief, so you all lie to yourselves. This always happens. Learned nothing new with this country.

Fuck off back to tumblr. In order to fix anything, you MUST confront the issues.
Also, illiterate fatty detected.

OY VEY! BAD GOYIM!

Except the people I am speaking to and perhaps even you?

This news is most definitely NOT being sliden folks.

I have disdain for stupidity is all. No matter where it comes from.

Could you have used a shittier image, OP? I agree with the sentiment, however.

This is the opposite of new you faggot. We’ve known about this problem for a long time

What's so stupid about what I said? I said the US was the easiest target, not the only one.

There is no sure way to have a marriage that doesn't fail at some point user. Women go through changes throughout their lives. Our culture doesn't hold cunts responsible for their actions like it did in the past. Marriage is a bad deal for men today. If a man really really want a son it's tough but maybe the surrogacy avenue is the way to go. It has high upfront costs(lower if you use third world surrogacy services) but you won't get divorce raped by a cunt. Men have to adapt to a changing culture and a changing world. If you don't adapt you'll find yourself getting exploited. Watch the vid when you get some spare time. It's long AF.

The communists within really have subverted America over time which is a shame. I sometimes wonder if future generations stand a chance, or if they will never ever get to experience a free prosperous lifestyle ever again. This whole system is subverted, corrupted and rotten to the core. Most women have become brainwashed - its not that they are inherently evil - just brainwashed and spoiled. They'll reap what they sew which many will end up without husbands or families and having to make it on their own. Others will simply die off from drug use or STDs. This whole system needs to collapse I guess, maybe then those who survive can repair it and fix all those problems in our past.

In the future, if there is any hope for our future, communist/marxist literature needs to be burned, needs to be prohibited, and anyone caught engaged in communist/marxist subversion killed. There is no other way out of it. Communism is a dangerous violent mental disease and must treated as such (as it was during the 50s when communists were lobotomized in mental laboratories).

The damage that drugs have caused in recent years cannot be overstated. I am in every way committed to the values and ideals of Zig Forums and this movement, whether you want to call it National Socialism, White Nationalism, White Separatism, &c. I come from a good white family from Central New York State, and all of my family members have earned advanced degrees. My mother is blonde and fair skinned. When I was a child I would stare into her pilot flame blue eyes as she sang along to the hymns played in our local church. To me, she looked like an angel.

Fast forward 20 years to today. I'm homeless, my clothes are dirty and ridden with lice and all I own is a laptop and some books. This is my third relapse on heroin in as many years. To shake things up, now crystal meth has become part of the mix, since I no longer get the same rush from shooting heroin. I've been hospitalized twice and I should be dead.

I've gone to hundreds of 12 step meetings, I've been to 3 different rehab centers, seen physicians, social workers, and therapists of every type. I've been on Suboxone and that was a total failure. Currently I'm on the methadone program that the state funds but it has just enabled me to keep using even more and I'm now doubly addicted, and methadone is even more difficult and painful to stop taking than heroin.

I'm at the end of my rope pretty much. I'm 26 and I feel like an old man, and I'm just sitting around waiting to die. A few years ago I was gainfully employed at a nice software/web applications development company, and then I went off the rails again.

Stay away from opiates anons, it's the forbidden fruit of lore. Once you eateth of it, you gain the knowledge of good and evil, and you are expelled from Eden into nakedness and shame.

You must kick that habit user. But first you must WANT to kick it. If you think you need it, you want to need it and you are then going to need it. You try saying to yourself "I do not want this, I do not need this, I will not have this." Try to ingrain that into your mind. Constantly, until you develop a habit of saying it to yourself. Reason is I knew someone who used to shoot up that crap, he tried everything to stop, and the only reason he was able to stop it is because he decided he really WANTED to stop it, and did everything to avoid it, he even moved away from home to kick it. Had to say "so long" to a lot of his family and friends. I saw him a year ago, he called me and we met up and hung out and ate lunch. He's off now, completely off. He won't touch any drugs anymore and will not drink, not even beer. He told me his secret how to quite. You must really WANT to quite and you need to tell that to your brain because your brain doesn't want to comprehend it. You must force your brain to comprehend you had enough of it.

Addictive drugs actually re-hardwire your brain, and by doing so your brain says "I need this drug" instead of "I want this drug." Thats why this technique eventually works. By saying "I don't want this, I don't need this" and making that a routine habit, your are actually re-structuring your brain from what the addictive drugs programmed it to think and how to react.

what about shitposting tho?

You're amongst the 1/3 teens not reading much, aren't you user?

No point to live long because the world is going to get fucked soon anyway.
No point working towards a future because the world is getting fucked soon anyway.
No point holding yourself back because the world is getting fucked soon anyway.
No values, no perspective, selfishness and hedonism is all that's needed.
The world is getting fucked soon anyway might as well enjoy myself until then.

This is the actual issue.

It amazes me that the sheer hypocrisy escapes you.
