Because American youth are much fatter than they used to be; numerous studies have found an extremely strong link between a high BMI and the onset of puberty in females.

Yeah, but a lot of girls are going through puberty very early and are not overweight at all. I think obesity explains some of it, but not all.

I haven't spent a lot of time studying my grandma's boob size, thankyou. (But, please, feel free to elaborate your own experience and further illustrate your POV).

real A: A good followup would be: why are boys entering puberty later? http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/02/100201171651.htm
wiki also notes, in regards to what's considered 'early': "As most children with precocious puberty have no disease, all of these definitions are somewhat arbitrary and based on social values"

But girls used to be married off at age 12 too, so yes, things change and evolve. And they go through pendulum swings. Deal.

Early onset puberty aka Precocious Puberty causes are linked to brain damage, adrenal tumors, pituitary gland illness, and those nasty plastics that made the news: BPAs. The only real conclusive link is the one NGC cites (Obesity), but there's still no good reason why african-american girls are much more likely than anglo/caucasian girls.

There is strong supposition that the increased chemical soup that children are being exposed to through products and processed foods are involved. Certainly the xenoestrogens in plastics and the phytoestrogens of increasingly modified foods (including high soy isolate inclusion) may be implicated in the early maturation and change in normal hormone growth cycles. Other sources include hormones in meat production and pesticides and other chemicals used on crops.
For the rest of us (adults) this exposure could be affecting normal endocrine systems, aging, inflammation processes, disease, tumor growth and maturation.
