Female birth control pills actually use hormone analogues that aren't actually very good analogues. Prescription Endocrine Disruptor would be an appropriate description for this class of prescriptions, if the medical profession was interested in being honest with their patients.

It's trivially-easy to render males temporarily infertile. My karate instructor told me how his wife wasn't getting knocked up when they'd decided to have a kid, decades ago, and how the doctor knew exactly what their problem was...

"Big business" sells us deodorized ("refined") vegetable oil because it's cheap and plentiful, NOT because it's healthy for us. I maintain that deodorized vegetable oil should only be used as biodiesel. People who eat less biodiesel are almost always healthier than those who eat more.

Similarly, doctors have been tricked into routinely chemically castrating their patients who don't have smooth menstrual cycles. FDA-approved "Birth Control" prescriptions are said to have "hormones", but the hormone-analogues used as drugs are not the same as nature's hormones. The pills really just shut down women's natural hormone cycling in the brain, replacing it with a medicated cycle.

I've talked to enough women to decide that women eventually hate almost everything about Wall Street's "hormones", but their doctors are ignorant of better options.

Wall Street sells us "imitation food" because the family farm doesn't scale. The most obesogenic of these so-called foods is "biodiesel", aka "vegetable oil".

For better health, we should all eat less biodiesel. Corn oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, grapeseed oil, linseed oil, and all other predominately unsaturated oils should only be used to power diesel engines.

I think there are certain issues like abortion that the two major parties have agreed upon as suitable for political theater - it distracts the public from the other issues on which they are in agreement, and would rather the public not talk about. (emphasis added)

Agreed - the birth control brouhaha is definitely part of the political theater:

meanwhile, we have antivaxxers, moon landing deniers, GM food ignorance, creationists, climate change deniers, fluoride fearmongers, 9/11 conspiracy theorists babbling about burning airplane fuel and steel, etc... assorted douchebag crackpots who are absolutely, undeniably factually wrong, and oftentimes dangerous (to public health, for example), but enthusiastically keep spreading their lies nonetheless

stupid shitbags like this for example are working very, very hard to kill children:

Then you have official misinformation like this site, which is put together by the American Heart Attack Association:
  www. goredforwomen .org/

The American Heart Attack Association tells us that it is important to consume biodiesel instead of humanity's traditional fats (butter, tallow, lard, coconut oil). Official Science refers to nutritional biodiesel as the Omega-3 and Omega-6 "essential" fatty acids, but they always neglect to tell us how much "essential" fat is enough to meet our daily requirements for biodiesel.

Science has two faces: discovery, and product development. Wall Street doesn't care about facts, it just uses the trappings of science to sell defective products.

but 1 million is small enough that they'll get new age charlatans up the wazoos trying to claim it with all kinds of diets and other shit.

The real charlatans are the ones who convinced the food industry to switch their fryers from evolutionarily-appropriate dietary fats to biodiesel.

Sixty-or-so years ago the Vegetable Oil industry told us that butter was giving us heart attacks, that we should avoid as much fat as possible, and that if we had to use fat in our cooking, polyunsaturated vegetable oil was far superior to the saturated fats.

Recently an article was published in one of those medical journals, waving the white flag of surrender in the war against butter, but it's going to take a generation or two before the product liability lawsuits against Big Food will get anywhere.
