It's awful that truly everything is being turned into identity politics including food. It turns out there are people who identity as "rednecks" and now the food shaming goes so far that association with them is being used to food shame people who want to be part of a different tribe (hyper liberals???) out of eating a new type of food but stick with the tribe's version of kosher.
The entire identity politics direction we are going on is incredibly scary and this highlights the extent to which is happening. What makes it even scarier is how hard it is not to fall for identity politics myself. I would argue that identity politics also was what drove Naziisim, larger parts of Leniism and the awful culture revolution. This one might be the sneakiest incarnation yet. I hope the train will stop a long time before we get to Hitler station.
Edit: Maybe this is even a natural end state of the two party system?
