I think you got it backwards. It's good that this worked for you, but this kind of thinking leads to a race to the bottom where the original cause is continuall

  I totally agree that it's a systemic problem and that society shouldn't ignore it. I'm not trying to shift blame from institution to individuals, it's just that I myself have noticed that thinking too much about how this was a problem in the bigger picture put unnecessary friction in a project that was already challenging enough (going from an unhealthy state to a healthy state). Just because I'm talking about this in public doesn't mean this is how I think the public think about it. Imagine my original comment as advice given in a dimly lit intimate one-on-one conversation, not something I'm shouting from a stage. I want institutions and policymakers to think of it as a systemic problem, but I want individuals to know that the most efficient strategy for they themselves is to ignore all the worlds ills and focus on using their limited energy in a way that is least likely to fail.
