Bonus Brain Eating Zombies

Yeah, I know, this makes three.
But these two women really need to be called out.

How stress is really hurting our kids
“Scared Sick: The Role of Childhood Trauma in Adult Disease,” the new book by Robin Karr-Morse and Meredith S. Wiley (respectively, a family therapist and a nonprofit worker with a background in family policy), explains just how profoundly babies and young children are affected by traumatic experiences. In the remarkably researched work, the two women show that early life malnutrition and abuse can affect a kid’s nervous system well into adulthood. Children raised in traumatic environments are more prone to cancer, chronic pain and even diabetes.
A family therapist and a non-profit worker with a background in family policy...

They cannot think outside the box.
Notice they completely ignore the part about the malnutrition.
Malnutrition and poverty facilitate dental disease...
These kids have real illnesses caused by real pathogens. And their parents do too.
It's that simple.
