 I know people talk about this a lot, but it’s actually crazy how toxic our environment is and it’s even worse in china, africa, lat am etc… 
 We are poisoning ourselves. 
 It's very specific to countries/areas. I find on average the environment in the U.S. is more toxic than in Argentina. Probably worse quality food, water and air. 
 China was a toxic environmental wasteland already in 1986 when I first traveled through the country.  US and Euro environmental lawfare proponents who haven't visit that country don't even know they are pissing in the wind.  Private land ownership and tort common law remedies are the only solution. 
 No wonder the majority of people are sick
