Because good health and wellness is actually a choice and not a standard in our society, the so-called "wellness" brands capitalise on that.
They charge ridiculous amounts so you can feel healthier for choosing them.
I'm sure everyone's noticed that anything stamped "natural" or "organic" also costs more.
If we think money is broken, the path to good health is equally broken.
That is for brands. On the other hand, some local farmers in every country do a great job. They are not 'broken'.
I also choose natural and organic but i produce most of it myself. This is the way 😀. And i think it is indeed healthier...

Yes. A thousand times yes!
But with the increased pressure to produce cheaper, organic went out of the window and a few billion extra people could be fed cheaply.
My ideal world would be one where we all have our own plot of land and do our own farming and gardening 🥰
This requires a big global shakeup 🤔 and possibly we need to geo-engineer our planet to make Siberia, the Mongolian desert, the Sahara and all of Australia not just habitable but positively blooming.
I think maybe gardening should probably be taught in school. We don't need to change the environment but moreso how we think and approach health.
If, and that is a big if, I know, if we don’t need to work in the “fiat mines” to get money because we live a simpeler life on a farm-ish place, we could homeschool our kids. No need for dedicated schools at all, unless you want to learn a speciality later in life 🤔
I’m dreaming again, i know. For now, learning a bit about farming would be a net positive. But unless we teach kids about regenerative and organic farming, all they will remember is how the slaw they tried to grow in school was eaten by snails 🐌.
It's free to dream. 🙂
Also, maybe people need to be able to opt out of school tax if they want to homeschool their child.
Healthy goes against monetary incentives from selling cheap food and tons of meds to sick people. And with broken money everything gets inflated away far away from decent options.
I view wellness as being more than a choice, it ought to be viewed as a responsibility. It starts with simple steps, first by understanding that a product labeled as being “Natural” means absolutely nothing (except marketing) and “Organic” is even suspect. Organic beef can come from a cow raised raised primarily on organic grains. The rub is that a cow is meant to eat grass not grains, it’s like raising a human primarily on organic snicker candy bars, both scenarios lead to unhealthy outcomes. The dilemma comes from our being so removed from where our food comes from, unless we participate in growing/raising it ourselves or personally know the integrity of the person growing/raising it.
I agree 💯
It really makes a difference when one begins to understand where our food comes from. I understood it fully when I got into farming.
