worldwide shortage strategy

The overused and ludicrously transparent procedure of trying to guilt-trip an over-indulger into reducing/eliminating his consumption of the unhealthful/expensive product by trying to appeal to his inherent consideration for fellow humans on the planet who might wish to have a little of the same item for themselves, too. This "this stuff is in alarmingly short supply, so don't hog it all for yourself" technique is seldom overly effective, especially in the modern-day computer age, wherein the glutton can simply “hop online” and find out for himself whether there is actually any imminent risk of said product’s being placed on the endangered species list.
I tried the worldwide shortage strategy on my corpulent cousin to try to convince her to cut back on the chips and chocolate bars, but she just showed me an article on MSNBC that described how the snack-food companies are currently experiencing a junk-food glut in their warehouses, what with so many people’s jumping on the health-nut bandwagon.
