@infobeautiful @ourworldindata It helps to learn Root Cause Analysis: most diseases are caused by a range of inherited hardware, and the system they're born into, along with the level of ignorance.
The wealthiest 1% know this, and work to condition the masses into buying into their effects, rather than evolving from root causes - like nutrition. Ultraprocessed foods are largely rooted in disease effects. Brainwashing you into believing you're getting as much as you're giving - also a critical function of their oppression/#AbuseOfPower.
Any historian of note claimed, rightfully, that ignorance is the ultimate enemy. That's why teaching single-solve mindsets in Western #Capitalism is crucial in maintaining subjugated subservience. Finally realizing that millions of years of evolution, was due to eating healthy proteins and carbs, is too late when you're lifespan is already crippled by ultraprocessed foods, antiquated baseload power/#FossilFuels, and addiction to cell phones.
@infobeautiful @ourworldindata media outlets are bought and paid for by shitty US corporations and PACs.
@infobeautiful @ourworldindata
no shit, wtf do you idiots want the news to do about heart disease, whats new about it
@infobeautiful “being Black” is missing from causes you die of in the US @ourworldindata
@infobeautiful this should be spread everywhere, and run full page in every newspaper and magazine, with the words "Sorry we lied about this" across the top
@infobeautiful @ourworldindata so given that heart disease is mostly self inflicted the phrase "Guns don't kill, people do" is reasonably sound.
@infobeautiful @ourworldindata
Would like to see same graphic for France...
@infobeautiful @ourworldindata I’m going to die from the inability of people on the internet to properly use an apostrophe.
@infobeautiful @ourworldindata Feels pretty shitty that slightly more than one in fifty deaths was literally suicide last year
@infobeautiful "FoxNews" being media is amusing..
@infobeautiful @ourworldindata
if the death rate from murder (terrorism = murder for political purposes + all other forms of homicide/murder) ever approached the death rate from heart disease, it would mean we were in the midst of a civilization ending collapse
that doesn't mean these events don't merit a great deal of reportage, they do
everybody dies & everybody's heart eventually stops but everybody doesn't have to die to serve somebody else's political agenda
@infobeautiful @ourworldindata Gotta come up with a way to blame heart disease and cancer on brown people.
@ourworldindata it's interesting that the NYT and WP give more coverage to terrorism than Fox News.
@infobeautiful @ourworldindata Wow. Almost a perfect negative correlation. Imagine that.
@infobeautiful @ourworldindata I would love to see a similar graph of what the media thinks women die of (90% breast cancer, it seems) vs what women actually die of, which I'm pretty sure is heart disease, and probably similar rate to the chart shown here.
