What's With The Dietary Ignorance Here?

I believe its because most teens, well most people, are very influenced by what they see on tv, online and what they hear from their friends. A lot of people forgot how to think for themselves i suppose. You get a few guilty feeling meat-eaters saying they "need" meat because they'd die from lack of protein without it. Then that gets spread around and you get a lot of teens actually believing it. Or their favourite celeb becomes a vegetarian and then its the latest trend and you get tweens following something they dont know sh*t about. I mean, im glad that more and more people are going veg, but then you get dumb sh*ts saying they are anorexic because of it, which will make those gullible people believe you wither away and die without eating a dead animals carc. Sad.
