      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.

        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.
