False Sense of Opting Out of Capitalism
The vitamin supplement industry, including vitamin D, is a multi-billion dollar sector intertwined with capitalism and corporate interests. Opting for natural alternatives still supports corporations, just different ones, creating only an illusion of escaping the system. The emotional appeal of conspiracy theories lies in the false belief that one can easily opt out of unjust systems, whereas in reality, the choice simply shifts from one form of big business to another. The narrative of avoiding pharmaceutical companies by consuming sun-derived vitamin D is misleading, as it leads to purchasing alternative supplements from companies that operate similarly. Notably, individuals involved in promoting vitamin D often have financial ties to supplement companies and other related industries, indicating the pervasive influence of corporate interests in this sector.
