    Why is alternative medicine so popular? Lots of reasons, but i agree with this here:

As Brodesser-Akner writes in her piece for Outside, “whatever you think of detox and the people who sell it, they are mostly people who care very much for you and who know how fragile happiness and health are and who want you to have a good life.”

    Wellness products and services are designed to make women feel that their unique, individual needs are being addressed…”

    People should be less whiney and just tough things out. When the going gets tough, the tough are the fittest survivors. Darwin set evolution up to be that way for good reason.
