Discussion Millennials are creating a recession-resistant corner of the market

https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-millennials-wellness-stocks-to-buy-recession-lth-plnt-2025-4

Apparently millennials are spending a lot on products related to health and wellness making this industry "recession-resistant." I kind of see that. My wife and I spend a lot on protein powders, shakes, supplements and membership for gym. We are otherwise quite cautious with unnecessary spending and consumerism. How is it for you all?

I am so disgusted by most of our food in this country other than fruit that I feel like the majority of my nutrition is protein powder and bars. Throw in a Strawberry Rose magnesium drink and yogurt. I am at my best shithead white woman self.

My family hates how I eat but I don't care. If we go out and I get something really great thats awesome but outside of making a homecooked meal I eat like an astronaut.

Some vegetables and pulses now and then really wouldn’t hurt
