    Ubiquitous plastic pollution; heavy metal poisoning (airplanes still use leaded fuel, for instance); copious neurotoxic herbicides and pesticides (used literally everywhere); processed food, causing metabolic disorders and cardiovascular disease (most people’s arteries look like they’re filled with bubble gum — it’s nasty). I’m shocked anyone is healthy at all right now.

    Isn’t it mainly just because we got better at diagnosing these disorders? I know this is the case with ADHD.

      No, there’s a genuine uptick in these diseases, most likely because of lifestyle factors and pollution.
