It's funny how oblivious Americans are to the dangers of driving. This despite generally knowing people who have been badly injured or killed in vehicular accidents.

Car exhaust is also a big deal. Air pollution kills.

Instead of talking about the very concretely understood dangers of car culture, people want to spout total nonsense about sugar or freak out about a little second hand smoke.
