This is so deep it's incredible. Some really greedy people set things up so that they would profit while millions suffered for it. Up to a hundred years ago. Just in nutrition alone I'm seeing stories about how the food products were marketed, and how the scientific reports were literally disregarded.

So this notion of blame has no place in this. That I think is one of the keys to progressing into at least a new economy. Without sounding hypocritical, changing the system should be done like a business. Otherwise we risk this blame and anger aspect. Of course not everyone is going to be as happy as they could have been had the change in course been different.
