I am the healthiest person I know, and I got cancer
This is one of the things where it matters more <i>how healthy/unpolluted your environment is</i>.<p>I'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'd wish we lived in a world where we could <i>actually address chemical, air-particulate +/- 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 "fight climate change" crowd or the "extinction rebellion" nutcases.<p>...like in, I'd rather have a petrol/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'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've come to terms with a +5/7 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>
