    Lack of moving/walking with long periods of sitting, being overweight, no fruits or vegetables and too much highly processed food/junk. It appears to be somewhat self inflicted, but it's hard to live a better life for most as the above is just the norm now.

      Ah yes. Kids are getting cancer “because they are fat and lazy”. How quaint.

        Nobody said anything about being lazy.
