They also died of paper cuts and mama/aunt sally was buried out back because she died in childbirth. Uncle Reg was locked in the upstairs attic because ghosts had sickened his brain.

The whole family had worms and scurvy

There are plenty of people in the US post industrialization still believing in ghosts and sky man and unfortunately eugenics for that matter. But at least they weren't filled with microplastics and their food wasn't poison. They didn't die from the sun or peanuts. We can only sit here and say it's better now because we've robbed the global south thanks to industrialization. These exploited countries aren't gaining from all the innovation that they paid for.
