As someone who lives in the south that doesn’t surprise me at all. People in my area are foaming at the mouth mad if you try to give them basic advice like “I don’t recommend you microwave your food in the styrofoam to-go box.” It’s like a thing their family did and to stop would mean their grandpa wasn’t right on something and they would rather chance cancer than that be true.

Been looking for what they are trying to distract us from seeing. Looks like I found one of the things at least.
