   it is sad how the lobbying of old evil industries like tobacco and animal-killing can convince the politicians and the public to outlaw and demonize their less-evil competition like vaping and lab-grown meat to make sure to hold on to the status quo.

   but why write more than 7000 words to communicate a simple point (lab-grown meat was promised 1-2 decades ago but failed to arrive and won't arrive in the foreseeable future)?

      you've never purchased something, then had someone question that purchase? the reflex to defend yourself, even knowing an action is morally wrong, is very strong, and we need to find a better way to help these people divest without losing "face"

         We need to raise people to stop blaming others and just accept responsibility for our actions.

         Plenty of folks can take criticism.

         People love to judge others, and people hate being judged. But it's possible to stop looking down on people, while I don't think it's possible to stop feeling bad when people look down on you. The solution is stop judging people, not to tell people to toughen up.

         Just as a matter of what's more effective, even aside from the fact that judging people is inherently wrong.
