“ Zoom in, and things get even more concerning: Among Americans younger than 65, almost half of deaths wouldn’t happen if we had a death rate that matched our peers. Among those aged 25 to 44, a group we call “early adults,” it’s 62 percent—nearly two out of three deaths at those early ages.”
“ Nonelderly Americans in particular were hit harder than nonelderly populations in other rich countries.”
“ one population for whom the pandemic does look like a longer-term turning point for the worse. And that population is a worrisome one: Americans early in their adulthood, those aged 25 to 44—that is, millennials, as well as some older members of Gen Z .”

Put together a neighborhood group with an amazing teacher. This is being done with phenomenal success.
Public schools are highly damaging to the majority of kids. School violence can be severely traumatic for many children. Children deserve better.
Are you in the right thread? This doesn't follow.
Why do you believe Millennials are dying off so fast?
Because Millennials got obese faster. And Gen z will be even fatter faster. Gen is slated to be the fattest generation yet, where half of them will be morbidly (BMI >30) by 2035.
Younger generations got fatter younger, thus have lived more years early on with obesity. Those years take a toll and add up to cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, and strokes by middle age.
Yet for decades, the FDA has approved poisons in the food industry. Evil.
Because of congress and American capitalism. Food companies lobby congress for so many loopholes that blocks the fda from doing anything.
News Flash:
The FDA has been in cahoots with pharma and food giants forever. They all protect their own pockets.
Newsflash: the FDA doesn't regulate anything "generally regarded as safe" because they're literally not allowed by Congress. FDA doesn't regulate GRAS determination because.......of Congress. And all that is because of lobbyists from companies like Conagra to Heinz to farmers in Iowa spraying crap on everything.
What are you talking about?

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Once labeled GRAS, the FDA can't regulate it. You should be asking yourself who determines GRAS. Hint, it ain't the FDA:

It's the food companies themselves. And why is this? Because of the sick US capitalist system that allows for corporate lobbying dollars to corrupt our entire government.
DP. That's not accurate. FDA can regulate substances that vendors have claimed are GRAS. But until or unless they do so, the manufacturer does not need to obtain FDA approval to use the substance.
Again, you need to do homework. Once an ingredient gets the GRAS label, which the food industry itself is able to self determine, companies are not required to report the ingredient to the FDA. How is the FDA going to regulate something that no one even reports is in foods? Notification is entirely voluntary.
