In Canada 1 in 2.3 men and 1 in 2.6 women will have cancer in their lifetime. About 14 million kilograms of carcinogens are released into our environment every year. Over the next 30 years, almost 6 million will be diagnosed with cancer, about 3 million will die from cancer and the direct healthcare costs will be more than $176 billion. Over $248 billion in tax revenues will be lost because of disability due to cancer. And no one is doing much to reverse this fatal trend.
Rather, we throw our tax dollars at cancer treatments. Hardly any effort is going towards cancer prevention or to stopping the use of the - actual, suspected and likely - cancer causing substances intentionally and haphazardly put into our environment, food and medicine by profit driven industries.
Seems like a sinister plot to bleed us dry. We buy up their poison produce then have to pay them again to have the poisons removed from our toxin-laden rotting bodies. That’s paying Peter and Paul (not real names). Since McDonalds is already feeding your kids hormone tainted, U.N. banned livestock burgers, they need only open McCancer Wards to rake in all the cash.
We’re not allowed to give noisy neighbours
arsenic laced biscuits, have bonfires in the backyard or, for that matter, paint a flag on a garage, without the law coming down on you. Ah, but if incorporated, then your free to spew plums of pollutants into the air and make carcinogens laced cookies, while plastering your logo all over the place. All this, even though its killing/maiming nearly half of us and likely will be much worse on the next generation.
Don’t listen to me; listen to our man Wendy Mesley setting us straight in CBC Marketplace’s Chasing the Cancer Answer (http://www.cbc.ca/consumers/market/files/health/cancer/).
Have a hoot, we’re doomed
