In Norway there's a huge debate going on now where the left-side thinks both "plane-", "meat-" and "junk food shaming" is necessary.

Plane shaming is the goal to give people bad conscience for travelling with airplanes because of they're polluting. Both meat and junk food shaming is the same thing, but meat shaming is also about animal's rights in addition to the climate debate and junk food shaming is to make people eat healthier so less people gets sick. Sick people costs the government a ton of [tax] money because of we've "free" universal healthcare. There's a movement called "Kjøttfri Mandag" that's all about eating less meat and that's also a movement gradually becoming more popular.

Are you agree with the left-side that plane-, meat- and junk food shaming is necessary? Please explain why. #ClimateCrisis #NoMeat #PoliticalCorrect

My Opinion:
I think there's possible to discuss the climate crisis and find a solution without shaming or bullying people for their lifestyle choices. Yes, there's very many people who eats meat and doesn't want to become vegetarians. Is it right to bully them, telling them to be ashamed of themselves and should get bad conscience? No, I don't think so. Instead you should focus on yourself and your friends may join your lifestyle if you can show them it's good without shaming them. I think educating people about the environment, a healthy lifestyle etc. would affect their choices more positively than shaming them.

I'm a leftist myself, but I've stopped supporting the left-parties because of restriction of freedom, this shaming movement, family politics, some education policies etc.
