Puberty strikes 7-year-old girls

This really bothers me. I think that all of the hormones and other junk that goes into our food is to blame for this. You can't tell me that all those growth hormones that they give cows and chickens have nothing to do with this phenomenon.

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.
