In a different part of the article, they say that back in the 1700s girls didn't start menstruating until they were 17-18 years old. They speculate that back then the reason for the late menstruation was due to malnutrition. Now that food is plentiful, girls are entering puberty at a younger age.
I don't think that an abundance of food is to blame.
I think that all the hormones and all the other crap that they put in our food is to blame. I have a 6 year old daughter and now I'm worried about her menstruating when she's 7 or 8, instead of 10-12.
I know the inevitable is coming, but I want my little girl to be a little girl for as long as is natural. I don't want her to go through puberty at an early age because of the food that I'm feeding her. I can't very well start growing my own food.
