I completely agree that saturation of the food supply and environment with endocrine disruptors is a factor but it is one of many. You also have the media constantly attacking and demonizing masculinity and traditional femininity, and celebrating androgyny, transexualism, and the like, the public education system and university system pushing post-modern Marxist bullshit of which demonizing gender roles and promoting identity confusion is a a major component, and of course the hideous beast that is feminism, demonizing masculinity, traditional femininity, the traditional family structure, seeking out and destroying any male-centered areas of private life that still exist, and desperately trying to criminalize normal male sexuality. It's a massive assault on many fronts.

Fortunately there are people realizing what's happening, and many others reacting against the bullshit without even fully comprehending the the scale of the problem or that it's being intentionally created. All over the internet, on Youtube, on forums, and in my personal life, I've seen many great young men making a conscious effort to understand their masculinity and make themselves into someone they can be proud to be. Guy's getting fit, learning practical skills to decrease their dependence on the system, learning a craft, growing their own food, connecting with nature, and consciously working to become respectable, self actualized, men - and not in the retarded-Bud-Light-and-football-meathead, or self-absorbed-emotionally-dead-bussiness-dick molds handed down through the mainstream media and society. It's by no means as widespread as the culture of gender confusion but it's a real thing that I see growing around me and that gives me hope and makes me happy.

Oh, also, there are things you can do about xenoestrogens and endocrine disruption with your diet. Cruciferous vegetables (kale, broccoli, cabbage, etc.) are some of the best foods for removing xenoestrogens and encouraging testosterone production. Beets are one of the best foods for helping your body with detoxification. Generally, eat a ton of hardy vegetables. One really easy way to get a bunch of greens in the morning and at times of the day when you don't feel like making or eating cooked vegetables (even though steaming just about any vegetable is literally the easiest, fastest way of cooking good food for yourself. Seriously, it takes 4 minutes from taking out the food to having it ready to eat, there's no way you can mess it up besides cooking it for too long, and you only have to rinse a single basically already clean pot for cleanup. Microwave a potato or yam and make some eggs along side and you have a serious awesome meal that's very healthy, very good, and very cheap) is to make a large bach of greens-and-fruit smoothie in the morning and drink it throughout the day or whenever. Also, there's some disagreement about the amount, but you should probably be supplementing LARGE amounts of vitamin d (up to 5000 IU daily). It's plays an important role in regulating all sorts of hormonal processes in the body and a huge proportion of the population (even in extremely sunny areas) is chronically, drastically deficient. A proper omega-3/6 ratio is also vital to the regulation of all sorts of hormonal and other processes in the body and it's another extremely common problem in people's diets. Take fish oil. Lastly, find a private place to do this one but... sun exposure on the genitals, even for just a few minutes, has been shown to drastically increase testosterone production for hours afterward. Just sayin.

Lol @ sun exposure on genitals. I know exactly where I can go for that and no one would be the wiser. Going to keep that in mind and will document the effects. I've been doing some more reading and I'm actually going to try consuming maca consistently as it's a supplement I have yet to really take, but I hear that it works wonders for a lot of men.

I like to think that there are always a good number of men who pursue manly things like what you mentioned. Also, I do hit the gym quite often and watch my diet. I've read that there are herbs that can detox xenoestrogens, and even something as simple as white button mushrooms apparently is a cheap and effective solution according to this site. I happen to consume a lot of broccoli (been getting organic broccoli for this recently), and I do eat like 3 eggs a day and take at least 2k IU of vitamin D from drops alone, as well as fish oil.

Nice, sounds like you're doing good stuff dude. Yeah, I think organics are a good idea on the produce.
