two major companies who
Exploit animal bodies on mass scale. I'm shocked they'd exploit children's bodies too 🥴
yeah, but animals don't matter /s
Apparently neither do children.
Now now, they aren’t complete monsters. It’s only OTHER PEOPLE’s kids that don’t matter to them. Well and other races, and other countries, and probably a bunch more.
Imagine a world where RICO was used to prosecute things like this instead of peaceful protesters.
Well DoJ and FBI could do their job... But that ain't how this country works tho
Isn't that what the probe is?

I feel like I just read a story about children working in meat processing factories. Guess we're skipping right to The Jungle then.
Even more of a reason to stop eating meat.
Because the produce industry doesn't violate workers rights...
No, noooo. They have uhh... they have fairies come in and pluck only the ripest fruit at very livable wages... please don't look in to this too closely. Definitely don't go in to the shanty village and start asking questions.
Definitely don't go in to the ~~shanty~~ fairy village and start asking questions.
Math equation says, plant eating requires less land, which means fewer workers exploited. Also I'm pretty sure plant farmers don't have a 400% turnover rate. It's almost like even if the math were equal, which it isn't, killing animals all day is bad for your mental health.

*Even more of a reason to stop eating.
So doing something good shouldn't be done if it's not good enough?
Cesar Chavez be like “you think lettuce is innocent?”
I do agree that we should stop eating meat. It'd be a great relief to the environment, climate and all that too.
That being said, I remember reading about conflict avocados and was like, "is there anything I like that I can feel guilt-free about!"
On the one hand, do I think they did it? 100% yes. On the other, am I surprised the law is signaling they might do something about it? Also yes.
There have been dozens of credible reports of such violations, of children being maimed and losing limbs even, and now finally there's a probe? Watching the law take this much time to announce it will begin to investigate what's been in the news for years almost convinced me it didn't want to do it at all.
Does this mean they are going to discontinue the Tyson Boneless Children Fingers?
"Tyson Boneless Breaded Childrens Fingers" sounds like it was typed up by someone dyslexic, but could also be an interesting Halloween product (made of candy hopefully) 😆
But. Why do the kids need to work in the first place
Because we're trending towards 3-4 income houses being required to make rent.
That's the dream
They yearn for the mines
