They seem to have done this back-to-the-land thing entirely arse-about-face. I thought the idea was to decomplicate your life by moving to a village, retaining the good things technological progress achieved (like medicines), while having a chance to participate genuinely in society rather than as an atomised consumer.
They moved to a garbage-strewn midsize city known for empty hedonism, and rented an apartment in some shitty rooming house to live the Dunning-Kruger version of a life in tune with nature- "If you use plants and herbs you target the bad without attacking the good bacteria as well.". Their kids play in a small brick-lined 'garden' when they aren't trashing the house, pissing off everybody they might call friends or community (those are things on facebook, right?).
To top the lot, their asthmatic kid got scarlet fever, a disease we started vaccinating for in the 1920s and which is readily treatable, for free, on the NHS. They decided to wait it out as they have a (somewhat feral) spare.
"Adele writes a blog on natural parenting and she and Matt are adamant, despite some negative comments, they would not raise their children any other way."
Either Social Services or dengue fever will say otherwise.
