Ah yes. Blame poor people instead of the corporations polluting our natural world. Typical.

Well, if that's what the medical data actually points to, while I don't think blame is really a useful concept, that would be the correct conclusion.

I don't know if that's actually the case, because I'm not a doctor, but I'll listen to them if they say it is.

Poor diet, alcohol abuse, and tobacco use can all certainly be attributed to corporate malfeasance in at least some part.
