#Consciouscapitalism
If you haven’t already heard of this, conscious capitalism is a thing. For almost a decade, companies have been throwing around corporate social responsibility as a way to justify retreats and charity fundraisers while simultaneously running sweatshops in other parts of the world.

Liver damage
At its very basic, food is for survival. Then, if your wallet’s thick enough, you could argue that food can be a delicacy.
