Grass Shortage: Not Even Nature Can Save This Trend
In the riveting exposĆ© titled 'Weāll need to do more than "touch grass" to revive them,' no fancy names, companies, or dollar amounts distract us from a crushing reality: apparently, the trendy advice to reconnect with natureāaka 'touch grass'āhas officially jumped the shark. While no specific campus or culture war was pinpointed, this phrase armored up as a one-size-fits-all mental health miracle, before quietly conceding defeat like your favorite overhyped fad diet. Itās as if 'touch grass,' that zen but vaguely aggressive nudge to get offline, forgot reality needs a bigger toolkit, because a handful of chlorophyll and good vibes apparently can't singlehandedly revive the currently unrevivable.

When 'touch grass' became a global mental health plan and then realized it didnāt come with a user manual, forcing all of us to admit sometimes your wellness hack is just a fancy way to say 'try harder.'
Turns out you canāt just send people outside and call it social therapy. Who knew that rehab requires more than a handful of earth under your nails?
Remember when millennials and boomers agreed the solution to everything was just 'touching grass'? Yeah, that plan aged like a dollar store apple.
