Today Mao and I are unpacking Moon Juice and how modern wellness brands use cultural appropriation to sell us a happier, healthier lifestyle. And we circle back to the origins wellness has in snake oil and the medicine shows of the 1880's and how the tactics brands use to sell us wellness hasn't changed much.
