to healthy food, a class issue.

On DU, just bringing up the destruction of the environment and the horrible plight of factory farming is seen as shaming.

The way I see it, those who feel ashamed aren't shamed by those who present facts. They are shamed by their cognizant inability to justify their concern for the environment and the treatment of animal and their meat eating habits. And their meat eating habits are primarily led by propaganda. We are awash in it.

I liken the VOCAL animal rights, vegetarian and vegan movements to he anti-lead movements of old. The science was clearly on the anti-lead activists side (and Europe had taken action decades prior to the U.S. based on that science). But PR from the lead industry empowered parents to resist 'shaming' contrary to scientific evidence and activist efforts to educate the facts that lead increased the chances of their children developing illnesses and cognitive liabilities.

The results of their not being "shamed" by science and those who promoted that science is , decades after lead being banned, there are still people being harmed by those who put their fingers in their ears and said, "Lalalalala, I can't hear you! I hear Sherwin Williams instead!"
