Why Is The Consumer Always Blamed?

[roadman]

When it comes to single use plastic or veganism, it's always the consumer that is to blame. "Stop buying straws" OR "stop buying meat"... Imagine Meat packaged in plastic? Oh damn!

How can the responsibility lay with the consumer?

Maybe if the choice wasn't there we wouldn't take it.

Plastic wrapping is for the convenience of the supermarkets not the consumer.

The choice is buy it in plastic are do without.

[Hopkirk]

Someone will always sell something if there is demand.

We have the power to take away the demand.

Don't fret about it. There will always be far more consumers than self-important, self-centred whingers. Society seems riddled these days with minor focus groups intent on imposing their views on the many.
