What do people like without realizing how bad it is?

1. I'm parroting this info, and may be wrong, but I trusted the professor's information on the subject. Apparently Toms, the shoe company, gets support from people here in America because they send a pair of shoes to Argentina or elsewhere that "needs" them when you buy a pair of their shoes. On paper, that sounds nice. But in practice, it just fucks up the local economy of where those shoes are going. They already have people making shoes for their livelihood there. An influx of 35 million shoes surely put numerous people out of business in areas that weren't exactly flourishing to begin with.

2. Messing with your teeth at home. Check out various threads here about the horrors of whitening strips.

3. Most well-known charities. Susan G Komen spends more on suing people who use pink than they do on research PETA kills more animals than they save, as well as just generally spreading misinformation. Autism Speaks only spends 3% of their income helping autistic people, and the rest of it talking about how *hard* it is to be the parent of an autistic child. In one ad one of the higher-ups in the organization was talking about the only reason she hasn't committed a murder-suicide of her and her autistic daughter is because she has another daughter who isn't autistic. She recorded herself saying this in front of said autistic daughter. I know that these are relatively common knowledge on Reddit, but many, many people don't realize how shitty these organizations really are.

5. Social media While some studies have been done, I think it will be years before we have a real idea of how it is affecting people.

7. Petting somebody's service animal. A little girl just got bit on an airplane after doing that. I think it's best to leave them alone and let them do their job.

9. Sugar. Sugar is in my opinion the most highly addictive substance on the planet. I kicked a drug habit but fuck you if I can't have a chocolate almond croissant.
