Most women in the west want to have one child maybe 2. Many have decided to have zero.
They cannot have it all. Career or children but not both
Many have decided to have zero.
Many just can’t have any. I think I remember something like one of six women suffers from infertility or some disease of reproductive system. Not sure it was worldwide or in high income countries.

That’s a shockingly high number
That’s a lot of bad luck or genes

I'll bet a lot of that is a result of our high carb, high processed food diet, and the resulting obesity.

Processed food is one thing, but carbs being the baddie?
Carbs are pure energy to the body, I eat pretty much only carbs and manage to have a few abs pop out, it's about what you're doing with the energy you put into the machine.

Correct, if you don't use the energy, the body store it as fat

A high carb diet is linked with poor health (truly linked, with decent science and not shoddy epidemiological studies).

If you're active, you'll need carbs to fuel you.

There's a lot of carnivore athletes out there that would disagree with you.
If you're curious about this, you may want to listen to some interviews with Dr. Tim Noakes. He's the originator of the whole "carb loading" concept, which introduced the idea that you needed to eat a lot of carbs before and during anything athletic.
He has since completely renounced that idea (after developing diabetes himself) and I just listened to an interview with him. Very interesting, especially how he was persecuted after renouncing the previous pro-carb ideas.
