you are using the word epidemic incorrectly
obesity and diabetes ain't them.
both are caused in large portion by the TYPE of food that we eat.
food that organization JUST LIKE the UN...told us to eat
the UN is killing us..

      "Definition of epidemic
      1 : affecting or tending to affect a disproportionately large number of individuals within a population, community, or region at the same time"
      https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/epidemic

      Sounds like @deirdyweirdy is using the word correctly in this context.

          I see your point.

          We should let Merriam Webster know.
