I think most would agree that blaming (or equating) other professions for problems in the one in focus, is not going to be persuasive.  -----

I have no intention to persuade anyone. I just want to disagree with the picture the writer is depicting that restaurants are all:

“Restaurants are rife with abuse, mental health issues and addiction” "I really wanted to call attention to the pretty severe mental health crisis that is happening within the industry, and frankly that is ruining and taking lives."

I agree that restaurant work is tough and there are problems, but all the restaurants I know have mostly happy worker ( about work environment, not pay scale) .

she also says some people with existing mental health issues are drawn to restaurant work.

"There is something especially about kitchens that might draw people who might suffer from particular issues, or be driven by particular issues — whether it's depression or anxiety or OCD or bipolar or something — where the condition they're dealing with is actually what drives them in the profession," she said.

What!!!!!! Is she serious???

I also would be grateful if you can point out to me if in anyway my comments are not consistent with OP's statement in her/his original post.
