Unfortunately, behind those glazed eyes, those sheep were thinking, "This 
guy's not a very good person.  I wonder what his problem is.  He just wants to 
depress people and make them feeeel bad."

The educated consumer is the only motivating force for reducing waste.  There 
is no benefit to the economy or idividual businesses when the wasteful 
consumer mends their ways.  It is also remarkably easy, apparently, to misinform or 
outright delude the public into feeling good about their poor decisions.  It's 
only a troublemaker who points out the error in their thinking.
