These transformations are tied to the changing American diet. Since the early 1980s, America’s per-person cheese consumption has doubled, largely in the form of mozzarella-covered pizza pies. And last year, for the first time, the average American ate 100 pounds of chicken, twice the amount 40 years ago.

you aren't being honest about the fact that any policy or even propaganda campaign aimed at reducing birth rates will necessarily be eugenicist since it will disproportionately impact each demographic differently.

I am telling everyone that they should have fewer kids. I am forcing that decision on no one. You just disagree.
