It's clear that we don't solve food/energy ecology problem just by lecturing people about eating salad or exercising, right? Especially if the main/core place they ate had an incentive of keeping them longer/having them eat more/make money from food manufacturers, not you.

The problem with all these analogies is that they omit the adversarial nature of what we just got hit with, as a society. It's like: A necromancer (Putin) is sneaking poisoned food that turns people into his zombie helpers into the pot-luck, & the host (Facebook) didn't stop it.
