Re:>>fear of ridicule. Do you have reason to believe that this is actually happening?<<
One example-Last week we were at a cookout and as you can imagine people are scattered about in conversation when I heard one woman who I know is doing modest preps for her family ask another lady "how is your pantry coming ?" The lady acted like she did not hear and was asked again and again no response.... she finally gave a glancing look and it was obvious she was too embarrassed to talk about it.
I can give many examples from my personal experience and the comments people make would no doubt make most people with limited resolve or maybe fence sitters question if they were doing the right thing.
The politically correct terminology to say at a wharehouse club is you are gearing up for extended camping !
