This is oxymoronic. A progressive person has much better things to do with his/her time than spend it "regulating their consumptive practices." I'll stop here, because your positions seem too absurd to bother refuting.
Moralism of your sort can only become a widespread social practice if the state adopts it and enforces it with widespread use of firing squads.
