I'm ok with taking vitamin D tablets, trying to eat Omega 3 rich foods, walking 5 miles a day, and eating lots of fruit and veg. Am I slipping towards woo, and ultimately to QAnon and loving Trump? Could be. Though that's more wellness than 'wellness'. It doesn't take much of an algorithmic prod towards the rabbit hole precipice to lurch from 'clean eating' and homoeopathy to Big Pharma anti-vax conspiracy theories and right-wing propaganda: ‘Everything you’ve been told is a lie!’ Inside the wellness-to-fascism pipeline The dark side of wellness: the overlap between spiritual thinking and far-right conspiracies Quote “There is a strong correlation between the embrace of ‘wellness woo’ and being susceptible to misinformation. And as conspiracy theories and misinformation become increasingly about ideology, it becomes easier to sell both wellness bunk and conspiracy theories as being ‘on brand.’ In other words, if you are part of our community, this is the cluster of beliefs you must embrace – Big Science is evil, supplements help, you can boost your immune system, vaccines don’t work…” He could go on. “I truly hope that one of the legacies of the pandemic is a greater understanding of the harm that tolerating pseudoscience can do. The good news is that we are seeing more and more individuals get involved in the fight against misinformation.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought health and fitness were racist and fatphobic. Certainly the countryside is racist, as we've been told over the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Grey Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) Well.....they've gone after Laurence Fox now with some lame excuse about ULEZ cameras I've never heard of the police raiding the homes of Extinction Rebellion any other far left group Anyway....anyone sensible knows what this is really about 🙄 'Laurence Fox arrested after video showing police in his home shared on social media A police spokesperson said officers had arrested a 45-year-old man on suspicion of conspiring to commit criminal damage to ULEZ cameras and encouraging or assisting offences to be committed.' https://news.sky.com/story/laurence-fox-arrested-after-video-showing-police-in-his-home-shared-on-social-media-12976589 Edited October 4, 2023 by Jack Grey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delbow Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I was very surprised to read just now in the Independent that Fox is 45, I'd have said he was much closer to 55. Must be the smoking, he doesn't look too good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cressida Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Actors often lie about their age to get offered more jobs, I think he's past leading men roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
