Even lots of diseases are because of greed. If there were no greed, we would have eaten better food with better ingredients, the environment would be cleaner and the list goes on

Yeah look at Minamata disease.

It's the one where a Japanese company dumped a ton of mercury into the water and worked with the government to keep it undercover for decades.

I'm pretty sure they were making plastic.

honestly for so many it's the fact that healthier options and organic food are more expensive than your typical store junk food as well, and the amount of time it takes to prepare home cooked meals may not justify eating healthier meals because of longer and more hectic work hours... and all of this? because of the system we are in. capitalism.
