Comment: I really think it is mainly one thing- all the additives and hormones in our foods. Maybe a bit of evolution, but mainly all the stuff that they did no thave years ago that is in almost everthing you put in your body.

Comment: The emergence of fast food and poor diet is the reason why these young girls are maturing fast. Because of the high cost of living, parents no longer have time to cook a home cooked meal and rely solely on fast food to feed their children. This especially happens in AA neighborhoods where it is not uncommon to see all the fast food joints filled to the brim with young AAs.

Comment: If we're leading the way in the early puberty trend, I'd start with looking at what they're putting in the chicken. :) 'Cause ya'll KNOW we like us some yardbird. Strange as it sounds I'm being serious.

Comment: I didn't know there was a thing called "public" hair. Anyway, I'm sure they will find some negative way to blame black men for what is happening to black girls.....again...... I can hear it all now, "It's because of the R&B music that black men have been making; we want them to apologize".

Comment: I see them lil huzzies first thing in the morning on the bus eating Cheetos and drankin a grape soda...it's all that garbage they eat...

Comment: This isn't new information. The fact that their minds don't keep up with their bodies should be the focus of attention. Y'all have already said the hormones fed to the animals that we eat contribute to their physical growth - so, will a study be done to figure out how to balance the physical with the mental? I thought not.

Comment: I started puberty pretty early myself (10 yrs old). Anyway, I read about this in Time back in '00 or '01. Seeing how our food is loaded with crap & how our air is filthy, it makes perfect sense for puberty to begin earlier & for the aging process to be sped up.

Comment: DCGG> It goes back to what I said about the parents not providing a homemade decent meal for their kids. When I was growing up, I had hot cereal with milk in the morning everyday before I went to school(Remember Cream of Wheat? LOL!) so there was no need for me to eat junk early in the morning. These kids are not taught how to prepare their own breakfast so naturally, they turn to the corner store. I agree that there is too more garbage that our kids are eating but we are partly to blame because we are not teaching them healthy eating habits.

Comment: bigfriend and other like-minded folks, it's true that if we follow the chemical trail, we find the reasons for a number of physical and mental problems, but, the food industry does not like having the chemical trail followed and they hire scientists who also work at the Food and Drug Administration to disallow research/reporting and spin the findings that they cannot control . . . high fructose corn syrup is very bad for us and it's in everything including "health" foods like yogurt . . . the European community bars quite of bit of US foodstuffs because of the high levels of chemicalization and bio-genetic engineering in the US food chains
