#paltrow talking about how she 'broke down and ate bread' during the pandemic makes me INCANDESCENT with rage

when you accidentally get mad enough to write a whole ass essay in the tags and tumblr is like 'that is too many tags' and deletes 2/3 of it for no goddamn reason like excuse me i had a POINT I WAS MAKING HERE 😡

#text posts #i'm mad about the wellness industrial complex now #tl;dr #it's predatory and selling a non viable solution to potentially desperate people who our medical system has failed to properly serve #pls go listen to the podcast #maintenance phase #it is the only thing that soothes my angry soul when i see someone talking abt celery juice or healing crystals or goop #i will fistfight the CEO of goop in a parking lot #paltrow talking about how she 'broke down and ate bread' during the pandemic makes me INCANDESCENT with rage #this industry is at best ineffective #and at worst actively harmful #i do not blame people who are seeking answers in the wellness industry bc it is extremely hard to be a person these days #and society is a mess and everyone is experiencing the anxiety that the fractured system causes #the medical system has failed a lot of people #and they should not be demonized or mocked for searching for answers outside of a system that has caused many of them harm #but the wellness industry preys on these larger cultural anxieties #esp with the pandemic #and sells products that have no basis in evidence or science #just to profit off of the people that society has failed #i'm a lot of fun at parties #this isn't as coherent as i normally am #but the JIST IS THERE #gwyneth turn on ur location i just want to talk #who the FUCK can afford shit like celery juice anyways #it's purely for an aspirational class trying to show moral superiority through purchasing power #and yet #none of it is fucking sustainable #pls just go listen to maintenance phase #mike and aubrey are the only thing preserving my sanity rn
