I love her to bits but I can’t figure out how she though this was a gold idea. It puts fumes into the food

    Cancer rates are going up because people aren’t dying from other things first

      No. Both other causes and cancer are going up, because we’ve more toxic shit everywhere, and less healthcare than ever.

        More toxic than 40 years ago? Yeah no, not even nearly. They also did not have more healthcare.

          It’s not lead now, it’s other stuff. It’s worse now, or soon will be. PFAS alone is an unimagineable nightmare.

          They combine industrial waste with sewage and spread it on fields for ffertilizer. They stopped enforcing the runoff laws that prevented algae blooms from like back 50 years back. To say nothing of the extra round-up.

          For instance, in the last 30 years, insect populations worldwide are down 90%. That is new, and even though we don’t have rivers catching fire at the moment, or lead in the air, it’s worse in many ways.

          I take your point though, but the progresses made are being reversed as we speak.
