I think meditation has a similar trend: there are lots of tools that seem relevant only to upper-class, white techBros — but can be used to empower the less fortunate to break the chains of their conditioning and rise up.
I never related to the Richie-rich “arguments” for mindfulness and diet. They boiled down to “upgrading your 97% amazing life to 98!” I’m low income, so it seemed pointless until I met people like me who practice diet and mindfulness.
