That fight is with corn subsidies, not food court hot dogs.
Why wouldn’t it be both?
Because bottom-up behavioral changes are an ineffective use of energy. Consumer-scale recycling, pushing people towards veganism, embracing mass transit, equal rights regardless of demographic... decades of effort and a losing battle. Societal change requires a legislative push, and that push is usually spearheaded by an organized group of regular people but they are pressuring Congress and businesses rather than shaming their neighbors.
