      Nah just uneducated and over marketed to. They literally don’t know how to shop and think groceries is microwave mac n cheese and “hearty” canned chili

          It’s not people’s fault, but it is their responsibility.

          They are not to blame, but they must handle what has been passed on to them. It has always been thus.

          Deciding “it’s not your problem” and choosing to blame others will simply make the problem last longer.

          The fix starts with you. In my life, it started with me.
