So they're really popular if you pulverize them so they're totally unrecognizable and then trick people into eating them without respect for bodily autonomy‽

It doesn't sound like a trick, it sounds like a simple offer that people take up without bothering to ask what's in them.

Like this person is saying all this and coming across as quite smug about getting people to eat something by deception that they wouldn't choose to eat...and acting like it's something to be proud of.

I can't imagine it'd be getting a similar positive reaction if it were about sneaking animal products into a vegans meal.

(I better not find comments in favour of forced vaccination on your history) EDIT: Jeez...you know like the age of consent in every state dude. And all the "close in age" statute gaps by how many years.
