What's wrong with it?

It contributes to sodium intake, if you're watching out for that. Probably at about a third of table salt's sodium by mass, though.

Might cause overeating too, because it's tasty.

That's it.

Tasty food will be my downfall.

What he explains sounds exactly like what you (or at least I) see when you close your eyes and then put pressure on them.

The way I had it explained was trying to look out one eye while the other’s closed

It's never going to stop. They'll keep trying until they get it because they're sick people.

But the populus sets the standards. If people decide not to follow a particular one anymore, it stops being the standard.

You and I are using different meanings for standard.

And the point of etiquette is to signal conformity and social status.

I had a friend who came from a working class culture where social aspiration was measured by tiny nuances, like whether someone put milk in their tea before or after pouring it.

Outside of that culture these nuances were irrelevant. Middle and upper class people had a completely different set of etiquette markers - as well as more or less obvious displays of wealth - which the working class aspirers were oblivious to.

So? Doesn’t make it a universal standard. Just an invented shibboleth for a group.

An angry, divided population is a lot easier to push to the extremes, enabling such legislation because people are so angry and divided and can't come to a reasonable compromise or solution.

These things shouldn't move forward, indeed. But being angry about it for years at a time when things aren't even remotely set in stone doesn't seem healthy for an individual or society at large.

That's okay. I can just choose not to read the stuff I'm not interested in.
