This is the biggest problem, in my opinion. People don't want to look foolish, so it's difficult to change. Doubly so if you made it part of your identity, as diet so often is. It's also why obstructing progress is much easier than creating the conditions for progress. If the status quo serves the powerful, it's going to be difficult to change, because they have more to lose by looking foolish.
