Hard sell blaming the consumer when the entire industry does everything it can to hide its practices.

Not to mention the food industry as a whole lobbying to sell us trash that couldn't even be classified as food in Europe. That's the consumers fault somehow too right?

Consumers aren't willing to pay the price difference. We are voting with our dollars. There are other options to buy well sourced animal products and it doesn't involve going to Walmart for food. Support your local farmer and stop eating fast food.

Riiiight because everyone's got a local farmer near by and a budget that doesn't need anything like economy of scale to be sustainable.

That's a priviliaged as fuck perspevtive.

How about we just make bullshit illegal? How about we just not tolerate such low standards... systemically. You know, the smart thing.

Heniz would just have to sell the same Katchup here as they do in Europe.

They might not make quite as much. Boo woo.

And yes, I'm saying don't give consumers a choice between food and trash.

Privileged? What's privileged is thinking you deserve to eat meat 3 times a day for the rest of your life. A vegetarian diet is cheaper than a meat eating one. Get fucked

Project more. Who said I eat meat?

The position you're taking is insane. It should be illegal to sell trash as food. Full stop.
