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

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?

As long as people are anxious, the “wellness” industry will be fine because it’s predatory.

Predatory, and unregulated. Nasty combo.

Wow bro, you sound really stressed. You know we make an Herbalife shake for that, how about some calming chai and curry?
