- sridca 7y agoSure, you can blame them all you want, however blaming won't change anything. As long as consumers remain gullible -- as evidenced by even the otherwise intelligent folks here defending plant-based food (highly processed to boot) and casually demonizing meat -- so will continue them being taken advantage of by all sorts of groups.
