Right. Same thing I think happened with Soylent nutrition.

I wonder what other health fads are there. It would make a good docu to follow someone like Supersize me! But doing all those health fads together for some time.

I’m actually very curious how do such fads begin?

Sales? What’s there to sell if you recommend polyphasic sleep? Or just harvest attention of clueless morons and act as some health guru?

Such a weird phenomena, and so common, I feel moronical for not understanding what drives it.
