Here's what I see in mine:

Wet nursing.

Detox diets.

No shampoo, conditioner, or soap. Replaced with baking soda, vinegar, and some other household shite.

Oil rinsing instead of mouthwash.

Cutting the cable.

Do the anti-vaccination and anti-GMO crowds count?

They're cutting cable because it's becoming obsolete and there are more advanced technologies to provide the same media


So it's not anti-modern or Luddite, if you will

Yes! Please tell me you're a staunch advocate of the organic cage free movement. That would just make you... perfect

You belong to one of those groups, but not the other?

Vaccines are one of the greatest health advances in history.

Splicing pesticide producing genes into food crops and letting them lose in the wild? What could possibly go wrong?

"Old fashioned" shaving (i.e. vintage shaving kits with badger brush and lather).

I haven't really seen wet nursing as much as I've seen women just making a big push towards breastfeeding in general.

Alternative medicine. Lots of very old Eastern religious practices being incorporated as well.

Modern agriculture is probably the greatest thing to ever happen to mankind. It's dramatically improved quality of life everywhere it is available, and has/will saved untold billions from starvation.

And you wanna tear it all down.


But hey, you have your reasons 1) you don't understand it. 2) it makes you feel icky and 3) people involved in modern agriculture make money (the horror!)
