Feminism has eroded relationships between men and women
It has created fear and divisiveness
It has destroyed the male-female dynamic AND confused both genders

Today, the average consumption is approximately 180lbs of sugar/person/year.

It is highly addictive, inflammatory and it is found in nearly all processed foods.
