We can walk and chew gum. Both are bad for you. Since I cut out the Mountain Dew and only do coffee and water (and a little non-caffeinated pop) I feel 10 times better.

My point being that a much greater percentage of the population regularly ingests food laced with high fructose corn syrup than consumes mountain dew.

Has anyone linked all of these food additives to school shootings? I am not saying they are CAUSING the shootings themselves. However, if they are disrupting our hormonal balances, they can certainly lead to depression and irrational behavior. This country totally sold us out.

Chemicals, exposure to radiation from all the electronics, drugs, bad home life, genetics… it’s probably all there.

Oh, I'm sure someone here could easily chart the correlation of the rise in school shootings with use of soc med AFTER they were invented and in wide use.

All that screen time with FPS games would be a factor as well.

We have had video games since the 70's. Not buying the "video games make people violent" cop out.
