That's the very definition of Cognitive Dissonance.


Nope, that would be a denial of the potential link between the
consumption of tomatoes and arthritis. That isn't the case here.

Good luck in getting that across.


Don't need to, it's her 'freedom of choice', just like it is for those
who continue to smoke after being made aware of the risks or eating
meat once they are aware of the price paid by others.

It's the intentional (soften subconscious) disconnection from the
facts that is the dissonance, not the *conscious* and full
consideration of same.

People who continue to smoke when fully aware of the risks are just
making their own choice (for them at least).

You are welcome.
