Speaking of WWII, three years before the Bromberg Massacre, in the 1936 Olympics, Hitler's Germany (population 80 millions) won more gold medals than the United States, Great Britain, India, Canada, Argentina, France, and Norway having a combined population 14 times bigger than Germany's population. Hitler's Germany won a total of 101 medals (41 gold) and 223 points. Their only credible rival was the United States, which though three times larger in population won 40% fewer, medals and points. (25 gold medals - 4 to Jesse Owens - and just 132 points). America's size and its reliance on colored athletes did little to reduce its humiliation. On a per capita basis, it can be shown that Germany had an approximate 5 times the per capita 'punch' than did the U.S.
I would argue that the Germans were receiving superior nutrition.
Compare this with the land of the free, in which the incidence of neurotoxic, allergic, and immune reactive conditions such as autism, schizophrenia, ADD, dyslexia, allergies, asthma, eczema, psoriasis, childhood diabetes, etc. have been increasing rapidly in recent years. A recent report by the National Research Council found that 50% of all pregnancies in the U.S. are now resulting in prenatal or postnatal mortality, significant birth defects, developmental disabilities or otherwise chronically unhealthy babies(3).
