This analysis does not apply to NZ only. Start with the psychological first: Kids are driven to think: You can be all that you want to be. We know that is not true. You are what you can be not what you want to be. In today's age, the kids get information from the media that such and such guy started from next to nothing and became very successful and bang! The kid wakes up one day believing he can be that guy! It goes into his head. If he does not have a close parent telling the usual parent thing: This is going to be harder than you think. Do not get carried away. This thing you are in can unravel Be prepared for consequences. he is in for serious trouble If the guy has something that works, and get that first steo of success, it reinforces his belief. Then he becomes what youth normally does: He think he's bullet proof. He starts pulling money like magnet. At this stage he starts listening only to what he has inside his own head. If the floor is pulled under his feet, he is not falling from the third floor, he is falling from the clouds he had planted his feet on. And that is the reason he loses it. It can be the case of sexual orientation played a role as he gained acceptance and that acceptance gained was more important to him than the money. Once failure hit, decamping to Kenya was a way to escape the hardship to contemplate his surroundings without the big rich boy image he got used to.

Then there is food as a way of life. I recall witnessing it in the mid-70s. Fashionable restaurants selling vegetarian food. It was on the wake of westerners discovering Indian culture. The Beatles and Steve Jobs went to India. You may recall also others looking to Islam Mohamad Ali and Cat Stevens it was part of the so called counterculture on the wake of the 60s. From then on it was mostly a fringe think. In the last 2 decades it took off. Now you have food police trying to get you to eat leaves and roots. We humans are what we are because we are omnivorous. The higher the percentage of vegetables a certain population eats the weaker they are. Thais are stronger than Indonesians because they eat pork. Indians are weaker than Middle Easterners.
