The issue people have is everyone is seemingly trying to blame oil and gas for all of their environmental problems - fata that. There is plenty of blame to go around, but you don't seem nearly as much being thrown at clothing manufacturers who are huge culprits, the meat industry, or mining companies. Ask yourself why?

Big energy, big food, big guns, big pharma, etc, etc....all of them lobby the government and take advantage of all the loopholes they can find to benefit their industry.
And all of them have done damage in a variety of ways, but can you honestly sit here and blame big food for the reason you someone is obese? That they didn't know that eating super processed foods high in sugar & simple carbs was going to create a big problem?
Likely not.
