Economautists are the only people who think just like me. (Check out how they measure the cost of increased dementia through air pollution to society) http://www.nber.org/papers/w24970 pic.twitter.com/ntcqAli6fi

I think it's more like Californians tend to be naturally healthy, and the place has other benefits (eg sunlight). But pollution is pushing health downwards, even if it's not so bad that it's wiping out those other positive factors
My grandfather moved from Oak Park, IL to Pasadena, CA in 1929 because he was a paranoid health food nut who thought commercial foods were poisoning him and he could grow his own fruits and vegetables in California. The roots of hippiedom often found in German-American paranoia.
Funny thing about my paranoid health food nut grandfather was he had been 1895 delivery boy for Dr. Roentgen, first Nobelist in Physics, while inventing X-ray machine. So he became an X-ray machine salesman. He'd put his hand under rays to show bones. Had radiation ulcer on hand.
My grandfather, the early x-ray machine salesman with radiation burns, retired in 1929 at age 53 to grow health food in California. He lived until 89 in 1965. So maybe this health food stuff really works?
