Calley Means on the link between ultra-processed food and rising childhood cancer rates

The New York Times recently had a front page article saying cancer raises are exploding among kids. Nobody knows why. Nobody knows why. Some of the people are evil, but these aren't fundamentally evil people. There's fundamental insight about the idea of ultra processed food being able to hijack our biology. You know, you're eating grass fed steak in there, you can't really overeat that. There aren't animals in the wild that have chronic obesity and diabetes rates. That was really, really intentional, not figuratively, literally. Tobacco industry scientists and tobacco industry lobbyists. And look at cancer rates in 1985 or so when the surgeon general started coming down on smoking. They're up like 8x. And today in 2024 is the highest rate of childhood cancer in human history.
