    No more, or less offensive than promoting veganism, in general, to an evolutionary omnivore species.

    Since “Mississippi” is simply a delineation of public policy, microculture, and specific social norms, why should it be exempt from criticism?

    Any “good-faith” argument starts and stops with both parties having the ability and willingness to admit that they are wrong.

    If we examine Mississippi vs its peer group, we find:

    • Health: Mississippi has the lowest life expectancy in the country, at 71.9 years. It also has the second-highest obesity rate, the highest rate of inactivity, and the second-highest cancer death rate. Mississippi also ranks low in health care access and affordability.

    • Education: Mississippi ranks 30th in education.

    • Family well-being: Mississippi ranks 50th in family well-being, and is considered the worst state in which to raise a family. Mississippi has the highest poverty rate in the country, at 15%, and the fifth-highest separation and divorce rate
