A few cancers are caused by viruses or by genes

But 99.4 % are caused by toxins - toxins enforced by Federal regulations and laws

In other words, the Federal government is guaranteeing a poisoned, miserable, and hopeless death for most U.S. citizens

Sometimes other countries also cause the toxins to be released in the air, but overall you are right. I don't think there is any country in which there are no such issues.

I would not be able to tell for any product in the supermarket whether or not it would be healthy without taking samples and using a mass spectrometer (which I don't have). Microplastics are everywhere in the food chain.

I don't think it's necessarily the government, because that suggests that the problem could be fixed. The average person is a self-centered asshole and that's why we can't have nice things.

Growing your own food is considered dangerous these days, because the soil is contaminated.

Almost no economic activity does not cause harm to the environment. Take cars for example. There exists no car wheel that doesn't spread microplastics due to wear and tear.
