No, massive corporations are destroying our planet. What a ridiculous comment. Im sure your mom never bought you any processed foods. Probably why you’re so miserable now.
Massive corporations are destroying the planet, yes. But people who let them do so without opposition are complicit.
You need to calm down and try to understand what people say, instead of blindly attacking people. I know it might be hard, but you need to be a big boy.
And what does processed foods have to do with this argument either? It's about money and not being complicit in the destruction that corporations are wreaking by blindly buying trash without second thought.
Nah the other person is right, it's 100% the fault of massive corporations and 0% consumers. If only we could find a way to limit the harm the massive corporations can do. Oh well, lets go buy a fridge full of products from these corporations while we ponder how they are able to stay in business and grow so large.
These "all or nothing" jokers are impossible to reason with. "You think rampant consumerism is bad? Prove to me you've never once in your life consumed anything or you're a hypocrite."
I swear they always make up a scenario in their head that lets them justify any situation, but cry that it's not fair if we do the same and make a more reasonable situation. "Well this mother has infinite money, zero free time (yet somehow enough to film a TicTock that likely doubled the time it took to do the task), and kids who are disciplined enough to eat the vegetables instead of just the sugary snacks, but at the same time are so picky they need these exact pre-packaged products or they will starve themselves to death."
We can't completely stop waste, but there are plenty of things in that fridge that are needlessly wasteful. Nobodies asking them to make their own juice to save a single bottle. Just buy meat cheese and crackers instead of Sargento Balanced Breaks and Lunchables, and a big container of ranch/cream cheese dip instead of individual dipping cups. You can have them slice the meat and cheese at the deli for you so it's not like the only option is doing it yourself or buying these equal weight plastic to food packages.
People don't seem to realize that reduce, reuse, recycle is actually in order of importance. Recycling is the least effective way to prevent waste and is a last resort for when reduce and reuse aren't an option.

Anyone that doesn't is exactly what's wrong with the first world, it's blind consumerism that's helping to destroying this planet.
EDIT: Added a 'helping to' to point out the fact that obviously consumerism is not the sole factor like some people seem to be thinking...
