Early onset cancer has increased by 79% in the past three decades

Grace Price, high school student and food activist: "Early onset cancer has increased by 79% in the past three decades. And obesity is on track to replace smoking as the number one preventable cause of cancer. That's an interesting one. One in five of us is obese and one in six of us is overweight. 75% of obese children have the vascular age comparable to that of a 45-year-old. 18.7% have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Close to 30% are pre-diabetic, and about one in five adolescents report symptoms of anxiety or depression, and one in seven will go on to develop a mental health disorder. Rates of these conditions were close to 0% 50 years ago. Let's keep that in mind, guys. This leads us to ask the question, why? Why is Generation Z plagued with more disease than ever when we are the most technologically advanced?"
