    Before reading the article I’m gonna say laissez faire capitalism.

    Edit:
    So it’s a bit more complex than the article title suggests.

    Cascading Effects of Bullying:

    • Reduced School Attendance
      • Staying at home leads to increased consumption/kitchen visits
        • Junk Food

    Additional Info:

    • Why Do So Many Trans People Drink Energy Drinks?
      • Energy drinks are far more accessible (and harmful) to children than healthy foods and necessary prescription medication.
        • Ex: if a child is unable to get a needed medicine, (such as a weight-loss drug as mentioned in the article), then it can bar them from having a healthy lifestyle which could increase the likelihood of turning to more self-detrimental options (like chugging energy drinks and scarfing down junk food).

        No worries🤗

        While I enjoy fooling around or bikeshed-procrastinating I prefer helping out where I can.👍 So it just made sense to share the insights I got from this article.

        Thanks for making these posts as it gives people like me space to comment🙌
