Diminished by using an argumentative fallacy to support. That of 'But car transport costs lives, and no one is as active to stop that! So obviously convenience and liberty wins out.' It's a defensive comparison that chooses a similar subject with the same issues, and uses the lack of similar preventative actions on that issue as defence for lack of action on the food chain.

What it ignores or glosses over is that there *are* car safety campaigns, efforts to keep and reduce speed limits, efforts to reduce car emissions, efforts to increase and improve rail transport... And yes, there *are* radicals who'd like to ban all private car ownership, just as many as there are fruitarians.
