Comment:

Knowingly, the Controllers target to expunging Gaia's inhabitants and especially the younger generations .They (still) have the power to enforce their decisions, they (still) have the means - aka technology and science and capital and lack of conscience/compassion.

What they do not have is our CONSENT.

To the extent that our 3D flesh and bones costumes are  inhabited by the ETERNAL,INFINITE  ESSENCE PORTION stemming from the ONE CREATOR SOURCE , we do not approve their satanic, Humanity's extinction plans. 

And so does the ONE CREATOR SOURCE.

More ergonomic for the minions and their handlers would be to educate themselves on such subjects as our piling up dissatisfaction and resentment.

Time and patience expiration from our part.    m.l.p.

Over 3 million killed yearly by air pollution: Study

Air pollution is killing over three million people around the globe per year. Scientists say if nothing is done to reduce pollutants such as ozone and tiny particles, the figure can easily double by the year 2050.
According to a study published in the journal Nature on Wednesday, the biggest cause for such deaths in Asian countries is coal burnt for heating homes and cooking, and in the US and Europe farming emissions is the leading cause.

"This is an astounding number," said study leader Jos Lelieveld of the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Germany. "In some countries air pollution is actually a leading cause of death, and in many countries it is a major issue."

A large number of the victims, around 75 percent, succumb to heart attacks and strokes due to the long-term inhalation of particles floating in the air. The rest are killed by lung cancer and respiratory diseases.
The study shows that unless world countries adopt stricter regulations, the death toll will reach 6.6 million in 35 years.
"If this growing premature mortality by air pollution is to be avoided, intensive control measures will be needed especially in south and east Asia," Lelieveld said.
The research was carried out by combining models of air quality measurements, population, and health statistics data.

1 in 3 America children and teens eat fast food daily – report

A new government report shows that over a third of US children and teens eat fast food daily. More than 12 percent obtained nearly half of their daily diet from fast food, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“I can’t say I was surprised,” said Cheryl Fryar, one of the study’s authors, to the Guardian.
On any given day, 34.3 percent of American children and teens between the ages of two and 19 eat pizza, fried chicken, tacos or some other dish prepared in a fast-food restaurant, according to data collected by the CDC and published on Tuesday.
Of that group, 10.7 percent of children and teens obtained 25-40 percent of their daily calories from fast food – and a staggering 12.1 percent obtained more than 40 percent of their daily calories from fast food. The report found the results were equivalent for boys and girls, and cut across income levels. About 11.5 percent of those surveyed were close to poverty and 13 percent were from the higher end of the economic spectrum.
The report did not provide calorie totals, but ABC News reported that separate government research suggests kids consume about 1,900 calories a day. That means kids average about 245 calories each day from fast food. That's about the equivalent of a basic McDonald's hamburger.
A paper published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2013 found that lower fast food prices are associated with higher consumption, particularly for middle and high school youth. The paper also found that fast food restaurants are clustered around schools, particularly around high schools in lower income neighborhoods.
One significant difference in the report had to do with age. Overall, children between the ages of two and 11 were much less likely than adolescents between the ages of 12 and 19 to dine on fast food. On a typical day, 8.7 percent of the younger kids ate fast food, compared with 16.9 percent of older children. That pattern was seen regardless of gender, race or ethnicity, weight status or family income, the researchers found.
While the report found a slim distinction between girls and boys, where researchers did notice a difference was in fast food consumption according to race and ethnicity. Asian-American kids were less likely than their peers to visit a fast food joint – only 8 percent did so on any given day, on average. That compared with 11.2 percent of Latino kids, 13.1 percent of white kids and 13.9 percent of African-American kids.
The researchers speculated that fast food had not caught on as much in Asian-American households because these families were not as assimilated into the US lifestyle, including its eating habits. Some 27.4 percent of Asian children in the US were born overseas, compared with 19.7 percent of Latino children, 2.5 percent of whites and 1.9 percent of blacks.
According to the CDC, childhood obesity has “more than doubled in children and quadrupled in adolescents in the past 30 years,” and consumption of fast food has been linked to weight gain in adults. Fast food has been associated with high caloric intake but poorer diet quality.
The new report did find, however, that 65.7 percent of children and teens consumed no fast food on a given day.
To collect data for the study, the CDC surveyed about 3,100 children – or their parents – to find out what they ate over the previous 24 hours throughout 2011 and 2012.
