‘Everything you’ve been told is a lie!’ Inside the wellness-to-fascism pipeline
One minute you’re doing the downward dog, the next you’re listening to conspiracy theories about Covid or the new world order. How did the desire to look after yourself become so toxic?

Pretty annoying how that article ends right when it's just starting to get at something.
Yes. People don't turn to conspiracy theories because they just haven't heard the official answers and need to be educated by obnoxious designated influencers. People turn to conspiracy theories because they've found the official answers unsatisfactory. Wellness is overly captured by big pharma. Nutrition is overly captured by whoever happens to be the highest bidder at the moment. Industry lobbying shouldn't be remotely a consideration when putting out nutrition guidelines, but it is.
It's no wonder the conspiracy gang uses this area as a sort of gateway drug to lure so many people in. It's one of the easiest areas where they can point out that something obviously isn't right. It doesn't make their snake oil supplements and right wing philosophies the right answers, but sometimes some real problems are correctly identified. It's the wrong answers to some right questions.

I'm not too proud to admit that's what I suspected after hearing this news.
In perhaps a sign of the times, it's the lead up to a general election at the moment in New Zealand, and today both the major parties have had to do damage control for candidates who had previously posted anti-vax, and/or anti-flouride conspiracy stuff to social media.
