NC for privacy in case I'm being silly and have genuinely read this wrongly.
A former schoolfriend who I guess is trying to "make it" as a journalist has written an article about the various benefits of some dietary supplements and it's been published. However it just doesn't sit right with me, especially a part where it quotes a professor as predicting that humans are in danger of becoming a "race of morons" and then saying that this prediction is in danger of coming true with the "spiral of neurological disorders such as depression" amongst others.
As a sufferer of this myself I may be being a bit sensitive but it seems to genuinely label people with mental illness/autism etc as "morons".
AIBU and reading this wrongly or is this offensive? There have been a few comments made and the magazine is strongly denying it. The schoolfriend is someone I've not spoken to for years but I wouldn't have said they felt that way about depression etc.
