...If you mean a personal sense of shame that motivates a change in behavior, maybe, but shame coming from without is well known to be a poor motivator. All the addiction treatment people seem to agree that strong self-motivation is the key to success.

I'd have no problem, on the other hand, with shaming our food industry, which makes us believe that convenience (along with copious amounts of salt, sugar, and grease) is better than sound nutrition.
