HelloFresh uses coconut milk obtained from monkey labor in Thailand, according to allegations from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which is calling for a boycott of the meal delivery service.
Monkeys are chained, whipped, beaten and forced to spend long hours picking coconuts, an investigation by PETA Asia alleges. Claims of animals abuse are alleged at 57 operations in nine provinces of Thailand, according to the findings released on Monday.

The United States Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has just approved a new treatment for a rare blood clotting disease, one with a hefty price tag.
Per dose, it'll cost US$3.5 million, making it the most expensive drug anywhere in the world.
At first glance, the price is gobsmacking, but a recent analysis on the cost-effectiveness of the drug suggests that's a relatively 'fair' price for what the treatment achieves – at least in the US.
The medicine, called Hemgenix, is a gene therapy treatment for hemophilia B, which is a rare genetic disease that causes reduced clotting of the blood. The most serious symptoms include spontaneous and repeated bleeding episodes that are difficult to stop.

- There are no 'free markets', as you surely know. If the gov't didn't require labeling at all, you would never know what you ate.formed
- Combine that with the 'free market' lobbying and the entire system is manipulated to benefit corps/$$, not give "choice".formed
