A few cancers are caused by viruses or by genes
But 99.4 % are caused by toxins - toxins enforced by Federal regulations and laws
In other words, the Federal government is guaranteeing a poisoned, miserable, and hopeless death for most U.S. citizens

Sometimes other countries also cause the toxins to be released in the air, but overall you are right. I don't think there is any country in which there are no such issues.
I would not be able to tell for any product in the supermarket whether or not it would be healthy without taking samples and using a mass spectrometer (which I don't have). Microplastics are everywhere in the food chain.
I don't think it's necessarily the government, because that suggests that the problem could be fixed. The average person is a self-centered asshole and that's why we can't have nice things.
Growing your own food is considered dangerous these days, because the soil is contaminated.
Almost no economic activity does not cause harm to the environment. Take cars for example. There exists no car wheel that doesn't spread microplastics due to wear and tear.

sugar + parasites = cancer

The more food you eat the more likely you are to have cancer. The other way of looking at this is it's the higher volume of food responsibility rather than the weight.
And if that's the case, what's poisoning our food?

Mechanical damage (due to eating more) with down regulated DNA repair genes would probably account for a lot, but without measuring it there's nothing useful to say about it.
Microplastics are already known to build up in the body, which by definition reduces efficiency of body processes. Whether those give you cancer, is irrelevant.
