I am the healthiest person I know, and I got cancer
This is one of the things where it matters more <i>how healthy&#x2F;unpolluted your environment is</i>.<p>I&#x27;d dare to say that a not-so-phisically-active moderate-smoker living in a less polluted environment has <i>way lower</i> cancer risk than a bio-vegan athlete buddhist monk living in a polluted industrial hellhole.<p>I&#x27;d wish we lived in a world where we could <i>actually address chemical, air-particulate +&#x2F;- microplastics</i> pollution seriously, and stuff like PFOAs that are still used round, without having it be totally overshadowed and drowned in noise by the &quot;fight climate change&quot; crowd or the &quot;extinction rebellion&quot; nutcases.<p>...like in, I&#x27;d rather have a petrol&#x2F;gas plant to replace a local COAL power plant FAST, than a nuclear alternative that would take 20 years to get funding and have the delayed-as-usual building process finalized. And I&#x27;d rather have all the hydro and windpower we can built asap, and we can figure out later if we really care about the western-golden-lyre-bird or whatever going extinct because of dams or windmills. In the end, tbh, I&#x27;ve come to terms with a +5&#x2F;7 C deg global warming (100y timeframe) happening, but <i>not with me or loved ones dying 20 years earlier of cancer because of chemical and particulate air pollution or god-knows-what from the latest untested and unidentified pan or sportswear coating!</i>
