About a million people aged below 50 die of cancer annually, a study says, projecting another 21 percent rise by 2030.
The main suspected causes mentioned are poor diet, alcohol, tobacco, physical inactivity, and obesity
well shit.
Plus side, these are factors that can be managed!
Even if it’s not exactly fun to.
Ah yes. Blame poor people instead of the corporations polluting our natural world. Typical.
Well, if that’s what the medical data actually points to, while I don’t think blame is really a useful concept, that would be the correct conclusion.
I don’t know if that’s actually the case, because I’m not a doctor, but I’ll listen to them if they say it is.
This is COVID denial style talk.
The report is actual medical research.
Poor diet, alcohol abuse, and tobacco use can all certainly be attributed to corporate malfeasance in at least some part.
What did you read that made you think “This is blaming poor people!”?
Buddy we’re all on this blue rock together. Those corporations couldn’t do shit if consumers didn’t let them. Plenty of blame to go around. We can encourage consumers to make better choices and vote for better regulations and still hold corporations and government accountable. We don’t have to choose.
