[pessimizer]

It's fake work. You do some social restriction (usually on food) that follows upper middle-class aesthetics, the media cheers, and dinner parties are supportive. Even better if you specifically target it towards the poor*, or food that only poor people eat.

This, for example, is targeted towards chains. If every restaurant you eat at has fewer than 15 locations, it doesn't exist. Where do upper-middle class people eat?

[*] like the fake work that RFK, Jr. is doing trying to make it impossible to buy soda and snack foods on SNAP. Only positive press he's gotten from NYT etc.. Yes, make those poor people eat better! But somehow also fat acceptance.
