Sure, but there's a huge spectrum of behaviors between "anything goes" and
"nothing is safe". Avoiding all risk is obviously impossible but some
simple rules could go a long way for just about everyone. If you can't grow
your own food you can probably still buy locally-grown food from a farmer's
market, farmer, neighbor, etc. If you don't cook you can learn. If you
don't have time you can learn to prioritize and manage your time. But if "I
don't have time" is really "eh, I don't really care, I'd rather watch more
cat videos/Kardashian shows/whatever than learn about ways to be healthy
and live longer", then I have no sympathy.
