Trusting modern, mainstream medicine, materialistic, immoral in many ways, not to mention hegemonic and supercilious. Yet somehow it's supposed to be better because there are more middle class people that aren't hungry (hence the obsession with weight loss). Of course, we all know the problems of this homogenizing culture which also increases the gap between the rich and the "poor" by making gargantuan rich and powerful individuals who live off questionable partnerships with the government. But of course, what am I thinking, this culture is better since more people can get fat off soy bean oil and other such "food." (one may also say complacent) Yes, it’s this weird western-originated “global” culture.
