From the closing paragraph: We should care about health, food, and education. But instead of seeing them as ways to prop up class dominance, we should improve them for everyone. Sure, that's agreeable enough. But I can't tell for sure if the author understands the difference between 1) upper middle class parents having resources to confer material advantages to their own families and 2) faddish tribal markers that confer no material advantage. The two are mixed indiscriminately throughout the article. There's no benefit to enabling the lower 4 income quintiles to participate in the same fads embraced by the top quintile. Being an overweight smoker really is bad for your health. It's not just an arbitrary tribal marker. Breast-feeding infants is good for them. Limiting screen time is good for young children. Exclusively eating organic-certified food, or gluten-free food (without a supporting diagnostic test), is just a tribal marker. Wearing exercise outfits to the grocery store is just a marker. Actually exercising isn't. One upper-middle-class fad that is actually worse for children, omitted from the article: refusing to vaccinate.
