The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported that four major industries are responsible for 19 million deaths annually worldwide, accounting for 34% of all deaths. These industries include tobacco, ultra-processed foods, fossil fuels, and alcohol. Specifically, in Europe, these industries are causing 2.7 million deaths every year. The WHO highlights the significant public health impact of these industries and calls for increased accountability and regulation to mitigate the adverse effects. JanekirbyPA notes that shareholders and executives make vast fortunes while the public bears the cost of the consequences.
Tobacco, alcohol, processed foods and fossil fuels ‘kill 2.7m a year in Europe’. Shareholders/Execs make vast fortunes by delivering disability/death. Bear no personal responsibility. Public bears the cost of consequences. Irresponsible capitalism. https://t.co/ECcqGf3wYe
