As a gen X I always think it's kinda weird how Gen Z (or whatever is the last), care about health considered the shitty world they're supposed to meet.

I think it's because a lot of Gen Z already have health problems that they can't afford to go to the doctor for. Or if they can afford it, the doctor doesn't know how or doesn't care about treating it. I know a healthcare provider that said they can't believe how many young people come in with old people diseases.

Because they live in a poisoned world. If you know you're constantly being poisoned, do you accept it, or do you become worried about the level of poison?

Gotta bring that avg. life expectancy up to increase retirement age to 85.
