^^ Pre Film

Let me tell you a secret: she can prefill, copy, and paste what she likes. Such is the life of influencers!
She probably didn't film the 10 PM Uber eats she got, which is likely half a Mcdonald's. My Gen Z does the same, then eats crap at night and vows to eat healthily tomorrow... until 10 PM.

Microplastics will make even the youngest generations disease-prone.

Why? (Genuinely curious!)

It's a trend.

Colorectal cancer in younger adults (2022) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9177054/

"In contrast to decreasing incidence rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) in older adults, incidence rates have nearly doubled in younger adults (age <50 years) in the U.S. since the early 1990s. Similar increases have occurred across the globe. Despite overall population trends in aging, by 2030, about 15% of CRCs will be diagnosed in younger adults. Mechanisms and factors contributing to early-onset CRC (EOCRC) remain puzzling, especially because most young adults diagnosed with CRC have no known risk factors or predisposing conditions, such as family history of CRC or polyps or a hereditary syndrome (e.g., Lynch syndrome, polyposis)."

#1 rule: social media is fake. Don't believe what you see on tiktok

But overall, what a mature and healthy young adult!

She sounds more mature than OP.

Gen Z is nowhere close to breaking the trend of rising obesity. Soon, nearly 1:2 adults will be obese. Not just overweight, but obese.

Too many video games. Too much Internet and social media. Too much processed food. Too much smoking weed.

The US population gets unhealthier every generation because they keep eating worse and worse food, get less and less exercise, and spend less and less time outdoors.

All I see from your link is that parents of each successive generation have no idea what they're doing. It's entirely possible that Gen-z, after becoming adults and can make choices for themselves, become healthier than when their choices were made by their parents.

My Dh is a gastroenterologist and I’m worried about how many gen Zers are going to be diagnosed with colon cancer in their 20’s and 30’s.

Why are you watching this, OP? And why would you draw such a sweeping conclusion from one person’s tik tok? This is a sad post.

Do you believe everything you see on TikTok? Good lord.

Does this Gen Z person have a full time job? Pay for all her bills and utilities, including rent and/or mortgage? Have pets (and is responsible with their pet) or kids?

^^ in addition to the above, I would say we have severely let down this generation with processed foods, plastics, etc., that are unregulated and we still don't understand what they are doing to us.

I eat and cook much the same way as my mom. We are all slender. But I see so many differences in bodies (even mine and my daughters') and how to know what we are even putting in them. It's disgusting how we have permitted this in the US. I don't even know where to research or point fingers any more.

Childhood obesity and obesity rates for young Americans are at all time highs. You might want to rethink this post.
