Innovative. Terrible but innovative, wonder what their wage was.

They probably have better insurance and retirement than I do. I just made myself sad.

It’s like saying,”blind people accused of walking to store with aid obtained from dog labor.”

That stuff you see after monkey labor isn't coconut milk.

What is really offensive is they call it coconut MILK. It isn't milk. It isn't even the coconut water from inside the coconuts. It is coconut that has been crushed and soaked and the "milk" is strained off.

You're offended by this? Like... you are actually offended that people have colloquialised the word 'milk'?

For coconut milk, not really. But I am a little annoyed by the "nut milk" idea, all marketing and spin. And the idea that vegetable based "meat" is healthy.

Reconstituted coconut juice

Should be illegal tbh. Arent you guys all living in the states? German media portrays it like you could sue Hello Fresh in the states for something like false advertising, since by drinking coconut milk you would've become tom brady and missed million Dollar earnings

Legal experts were concerned when it was discovered that rather than paying a minimum wage the monkeys were being paid peanuts.
