    Shitting on the consumer here does no good.

    It absolutely does help to remind them that they’re victims of their own poor choices.

      By that rationale, we should be blaming those who picked a certain brand of hamburger meat for getting salmonella poisoning? I would think we’d want to push responsibility on the corporation and governmental oversight for change in food safety standards than mock those who got sick.

        Is this hypothetical hamburger brand notorious for having salmonella in their burgers? Because yes. Absolutely.

        Yeah, of course we would. This is a false dichotomy though. You don’t have to choose one or the other.
