Let's cheer for the latest fad of the industry of the annual fad, who has made the planet obese, churning increasingly nutrient-less [1], and taste-less [2] food-stuff to our tables, all the while sponsoring spin research ("breakfast is the most important meal of the day", "fat is bad for you", etc).

Well, the industry cannot be blamed for what is ultimately the consumer's fault in uncritically adopting strange beliefs about food, as hilariously demonstrated by this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLk5AAKRem8

I, for one, can blame those with (a) the profit motive, (b) fake sponsored studies and articles, (c) knowingly selling bad foodstuff, over those misinformed and bombarded with ads, targeted by food chemistry to make crap more addictive, and so on, that suffer the consequences...
Sure, 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.
