[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are trying to make cancer and disease a “personal responsibility.” If you know a food ingredient is “bad” and you eat it anyway, then we can blame you for your cancer, your measles complications, and your kids birth defects, just like we blame you for being fat, diabetic, or having lung cancer.

Of course many cancers, birth defects, and health issues are caused by environmental causes. But if you choose next to live next to a toxic waste dump or in a food desert, well, that’s your fault, too.

It’s all lining up to make public health a thing of the past. [/quote]

^ all of this. They're trying to make everything "personal responsibility" so that the government is responsible for nothing-- no enforcement, no prevention, no remedy. You want something? You pay for it (at highly inflated prices, from their friends). The government will no longer provide it. In like manner, they're also trying to cut and reframe many agencies to center on "education" or "awareness" instead of prevention/enforcement/rules. So then it's your problem if you are harmed in some way. [/quote]
