This is the same industry by the way that tortured people in assylums, lobotomized anyone who was too loud, and sterilized gay people. It’s also the industry that pioneered the T4 gassing program in early Nazi Germany. Because in that social/political/historical context, the mass killings of assylums patients was seen as a sanitation issue, making the German people “healthier” by removing the “unhealthy” stock.
I raise this not to make some Godwin style argument, but to say this is how these industries and the concept of health its self is manufactured by the ideological and social values of the times. This is why it’s important to question things critically and look at broader viewpoints and understandings.
