Did the Gedolim ban Slifkin, hoping and expecting that their decree would make his views more popular?

As I've pointed out elsewhere, the Gedolim previously banned vegetables... something healthy... something not enough Jews eat with any regularity. Sure, they could have banned kugel, but that would have backfired. So instead, they ban vegetables, and gedolim haters (predictably) respond by stuffing their faces with insect-infected spinach.

This manipulative game is getting transparent.
