It is now.

I'm not trying to be negative here but my criticism is meant to be constructive so please view it as such. If I sound hard then it is unintentional.

We need something better (in society in general, not just this issue in particular) than 'Go read this report'. Most people are not experts. Most people who use the internet won't even glance past the headlines, let alone spend time reading the entire report. Who knows how many people who do read it will fully comprehend it.

People who don't use the internet these days even less so on all of these fronts. When we have activism, we need a way of simultaneously dumbing stuff down for people (probably a poor choice of words) as well as raising up the lowest common denominator to a higher level of expertise. Let me rephrase that then. We need a better way of conveying information in digestible portions. People don't have the time to become experts in every single issue that they are told is a threat to them and their way of life.

We need fact sheets that address the financial argument. We need fact sheets that address the logical argument. And we need fact sheets that address the emotional argument. People cannot do this alone. We need an organized structure from whatever entity is taking the lead on each issue to begin the institutionalization of this sort of process so that it becomes the de facto norm.

At the same time we cannot expect everything to be spoon fed to us. We need some way of raising our own knowledge base and comprehension level up to that of an expert or a fully involved individual. This is a much more difficult problem in my opinion as it involves problems that I do not have the answer to. The only thing I can think of is that we need to improve our education system as a long term solution towards these sorts of things. But the fact sheets should be a good start.

There has to be some sort of change in how we seek to promote activism on an issue or else our attention spans will always fail us.

TL;DR: This would defeat the purpose of my entire post.

Edit: My first gold ever. Obligatory THANK YOU! I didn't expect this to be viewed to this extent but I am SO glad that it is. These are thoughts that have been mulled around inside my head for many of the years of my short adult life and I am glad to see others contribute to this discussion.

Could only think of this

You should do halfsie halfsie. start the trend

Besides the similarity of the menu, how come they all seem to purchase their stuff from the SAME exact supplier. For example, the menu looks exactly the same. I don't mean just the contents. I mean the literal menu hanging on the wall of the restaurant looks like it came from one single company. I feel like the answer to this is just going to be 'because there is one company.'

[edit]: Here are just three examples!
