That’s fair. But I think that’s kind of what I’m doing by combating the trolls. “Some of these people spout bullshit, but they get called out by the community”.

I’m sure that they’ll continue to provide special diets for those with nutritional needs. I think they might have to, legally.

Whatever works to cut emissions. It’s a harsh reality but poor people will have to sacrifice some. The alternative is far more material suffering.
