I think, unfortunately, the fact that the movement is decentralized and it's prone to being co-opted, it can do harm in the ways that I have shown you.
That's what I'm saying.

Thank you.
Thank you very much.
So I really want to focus on what you've just been saying about the co-opting of the movement.
Because what you seem to be critiquing is the people who've co-opted the movement, not the people who actually built the movement.
Not the people who actually are the movement.

Influencers and activists are not necessarily the same thing.
We were allegedly invited here as activists and advocates.
Not always the same thing, right?

So when people are misusing that, we are a movement that doesn't have the same resources as the health and wellness industry or the health and wellness grifters.
or the major food industry, right?
