There’s such a stupid mentality around “Everyone must ”.

Lacrosse exists. I don’t care for it. I’m not going to dictate no one else play it. I imagine if the government mandated everyone play Lacrosse it would become hard to find the equipment for it because it would be in such high demand.

And yet, whether it’s meat, cars, guns, as soon as we suggest “I know this stuff has a place but we should use it a little less” they process it as an effort to completely ban the item in question.
