this isn't the first time I've seen such statements. I mock this sentiment in my Corn Siege book. Tried to authenticate. Best I could do is that this was all the way back in 2020.
Reminds me of the woman who called the radio station to complain about who the dumb person was who put the deer crossing sign up at a particular place on the road--she said that's a terrible place for deer to cross, they should have put the sign somewhere else. She later said she was joking, but I don't think so.
