1. Fucking wellness grifters…just sell your vegan meals and don’t try give medical advice

2. Those Happy Pear pricks are 2 of the biggest arseholes I’ve ever come across.

3. For two lads who are trying to sell their lifestyle as healthy they look terrible. Bags under their eyes, hair thinning and falling out, they have the look of someone going through chemo. They’re slim though, so maybe that sells.

4. Reminds me of influencer Belle Gibson who said her brain cancer was cured by fruit.

   Except she’d not had brain cancer and instead scammed people out of money because she’s a terrible person.

5. As u/louiseber called them “fucking wellness grifters” but as the HSE becomes increasingly overwhelmed and GPs are forced to treat their surgeries with more of a focus on “footfall” than care, this shite is going to become more prevalent as people feel less cared for and listened to, which is only human.

   Obviously eating healthy is important but overall health is complex with loads of different factors. Whenever someone says white rice is bad because it makes you fat, then why do Koreans who eat so much of it have one of the lowest rates of obesity in the world? If turmeric really solves so many health problems, why is there so much high blood pressure and obesity in India? That whole supplement industry is snake oil.
