Telegraph (no paywall version):

Male fertility is being irreversibly damaged by a diet of western junk food by the time men reach 18, a study has found.

A groundbreaking investigation has established that teenagers who favour high-fat and processed foods like pizzas, chips and snacks are killing off sperm-producing cells that can never be replaced.

It showed that a diet dominated by fish, chicken, vegetables and fruit is best is for protecting those cells and ensuring healthy levels of sperm.

[...] The research is being presented at the European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) annual conference in Vienna.

The solution is simple: don't eat anyone's junk.

    You don't have to do anything wrong.

    Heck if I'm very rich and old I wouldn't want my kids to be the ones wiping off my drool and other bodily fluids.

    I'd rather have some very attractive professionals to do that sort of stuff...

    Better to have real pros do that job than my kids... ;)
