I found this very helpful article on the N.I.H. website about this very issue! GEESH--remember in the movie "The Graduate", how Mr. Robinson wanted the character Dustin Hoffman played to take up the "plastics" mfg.'ing field of endeavor. I clearly remember Robinson telling "the graduate"--"plastics - it's the wave of the future"! Yeah--the wave of interminable waste that will NEVER decompose and excrete toxic chemicals that are carcinogenic. Yep..."plastics is where it's at" for sure!!!!
I don’t think it was initially a de-pop or eugenics thing — it just evolved. We are dumb creatures, after all. But now, the wanna be masters are & indeed have been busy exploiting this and many other converging systemic ills (yes, some made by design) toward their de-pop/eug. ends, I think.
But, two things: people are awake and increasingly informed. “Their” entire system is being exposed. It’s breaking apart. Not over yet, by a long shot, but it’s happening.
And
Our bodies, being “fearfully and wonderfully made”, our ability to heal is miraculous. And Our God who made, maintains and is master of us and of all matter loves us more than we can ever imagine. So.
This battle we’re in is His. As we are His and remain in Him, while suffering comes to all of us, we must keep our eyes on Jesus and on our fellows whom He calls on us to love. We do our little parts as He gives us and guides us.
And on this issue — the toxins around us & in us? I think metaphorically. Good vs evil —
Phil. 4:8
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” — Seeking His kingdom first, we, living in this material world seek those things He providentially gives us plus the wisdom, discernment and knowledge to use them which he also gives.
👉🏼I do not think we can mess things up more than His power and will to right and heal us and His world! So, in a way, I think the question you pose is moot — though not without value.
I kind of went off on a tangent here, caromed off into space. No, I don’t think they knew at the onset about these unintended consequences. But they HAVE known about & exploited its (and other both incidental and contrived) evils for long enough. So I guess it’s a bit of both, to finally answer your question (as this bear of very little brain sees it. )
Humbled and honored! You may have to preach it back to me some day (or beautiful evening!), enhanced by your own brightness, Sharon! We all go through “those moments”!
Interesting; the effete men/guys I knew were from rural/small town areas though!!
I'm still of the belief that it is a "hormonal excess" of the female hormones, as we all have the hormones of the "opposing sex" within our bodies.
Endocrine disruptors — in plastics & toiletries — for one. They affect estrogen in women and androgens in men.

Is this just a byproduct of the manufacturing process--or is it an intentional act of eugenics, Dick?
$$$, convenience, “live better through chemicals”, ignorance, indifference, our corrupt and complicit “health/environment/ag/mil(etc)” 3-letter agencies, corporate careerists, functionally moronic scientists, us!!!

Godspeed, friend. 👆🏼✝️🕊🙏🏽🌻
Dick--your "divergent response" is WONDROUS and speaks to my soul!!
Thank you so much; I'm printing it out and putting it in my devotional--truly!!
Humbled and honored! You may have to preach it back to me some day (or beautiful evening!), enhanced by your own brightness, Sharon! We all go through “those moments”!
💌🙏🏽👆🏼✝️🕊🌻
And so I will, Dick (my first hubby's name--LOL!)
