Why the wellness industry is elitist | Alana Van Der Sluys | TEDxRutgersCamden

[@jstone247]

Yes. I agree. The wellness industry, which had evolved from the New Age movement of the 1990s. Open to the pampered, entitled wealthy. A whole industry of commodities has been built on the narcissistic , individualistic ethos of personal choice. I have heard it been explained as your present life on Earth is the result of a conscious choice before birth. So a dying child in Somalia, or Sudan, or the people of disease ridden people of flood bound Asia deserve their fate, because of the Karmic choice they made. The New Age movement has morphed into an alliance with the right-wing conspiritorist anti-vax, anti science, and anti academic communities. The wellness industry is built on consumerism, greed and vain self obsession.

I make less than 25,000 a year and it never occurred to me that I could go to a food pantry. Thank you, I feel smarter after watching this.
