I think it’s because we grew up in sterile urban environment compared with our parents and grandparents who grew up on farms.
Even the suburbs 50 years ago. 8:00 AM...”Mom, I’m going out to play.”
“OK, Bob. Be sure you get home when it gets dark.”
You are the first generation to be completely consumed by not only environmental toxins (in the air, in your water, in your food) and completely immersed in EMF (cough*pulsating microwaves*cough). Now couple that with the fact that your feet rarely touch the earth (grounding) and you are rarely exposed to bacteria in dirt.
I lived in the Seattle area for 46 years. I bicycle commuted for about 15 years until cell phones and texting made it too dangerous. But we still hiked. I never “jogged/ran” because I have flat feet and value my knees.
My wife and I are both 65 now with no health insurance. We’re doing GREAT, though my wife has to take allergy pills. It’s because we live on 32 acres in Kentucky now, in the middle of nowhere.
BTW, thank God for Amazon Prime.
Nonsense. I don’t know a single person whose parents or grandparents grew up on a farm.
Most of the shift away from farms came long before Millennials’ parents were growing up.
