    Yeah, ban cars in cities. Endless studies telling of the health benefits from active transport and we kill over 10,0000 a year from transport pollution diseases already.

    https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-02-24/air-pollution-modelling-university-of-melbourne-traffic/102015778

    Thers also lots of anecdotal studies linking pollition and cancers and there’s just nore and more of it

    Only fund active and public transport solutions going foward, no more new roads… Even the freight solutions we do are insane, like the inland rail that stops at an inland port and then unloads loads everything onto trucks and has no extension to Gladstone.

    Pollution and lifestyle.

    Reduce sources of systemic inflammation, improve immune function.

    Take metabolic health seriously, see sugar as the drug it is, industrial oils are a huge health iceberg.

    The word ‘screen’ is mentioned in some form or the other 19 times vs the word ‘food’ in some form or other mentioned just 3 times. ‘Diet’ in all it’s forms gets a grand total of 0 mentions.

    So, screen, then presumably manage and treat more than look at ways to prevent? OK
