59. You shouldn't automatically discount

This: All disease is the result of diet and environment. Even Crohns, even cancer, even genetic disposition. I think it is probably safe to discount "all." But this is what environmental justice is all about. (And Biden's extraordinarily useful environmental justice map.) We know there are cancer clusters, asthma clusters, lead poisoning clusters, etc. around the country. We know this is the result of polluting industries carefully located in or near communities of lower socioeconomic means and we know the cycle of poverty can lock people into those environments for multiple generations. We also know American sociopathapitalists don't want to talk about that.
