  • Because the 13th amendment has an explicit exception for prison slave labor baked into it. It's not an accidental addition, and it wasn't unnoticed either (it was very quickly used especially in the South after the 13th amendment was ratified)

    Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

    Some states have recently change their state constitutions to prohibit that within the state, but it's still legal federally and in the vast majority of states

  • From the above article

    The program has also been accused of being less than voluntary, as numerous firsthand accounts of being coerced or forced to work against their will have emerged from people detained inside ICE facilities. Allegations against the agency range from officers threatening retaliation if detainees refuse to work, to detainees receiving insufficient amounts of food and having to work to make money to buy additional food at the commissary.

  • Don't worry, there's fears it might get worse

    As detention numbers creep upward, some advocates are worried that detainees could be compelled to work to fill gaps in the workforce of some of the most dangerous jobs in the country, including on factory farms and in slaughterhouses. “Over the last decade or so, ICE has been contracting with private organizations to run their detention centers, very much like prisons have been doing. Those private companies have been making detainees work for $1 a day,” Amal Bouhabib, senior staff attorney with the legal advocacy organization FarmSTAND, tells Sentient.

    To be clear, there is no evidence this is happening right now in ICE detention centers, but advocates are worried this could change.

    The meat, dairy, etc. industry already uses prison slave labor in various parts

Maine's governor told him to his face that she'd see him in court over it. Then a little bit later, he settled in court and gave back the funding without attaching any strings

  • This is part of a broader movement that has seen successes in a lot of places. From Wikipedia

    Plant-Based Universities is an international student-led campaign calling for universities and Students' Unions to adopt fully plant-based catering.[1][2] The campaign began in late 2021[3] in response to the climate crisis.[4] Its chapters have initiated votes in Students' Unions and, as of October 2025, been successful in one Dutch, one Swedish, two Austrian, two Swiss, four German, and fourteen British universities, with around 80 active campaigns across nine countries.

  • Immigrant’s Death at Oklahoma Poultry Plant Highlights Dangerous Working Conditions

    跳过

  • The article talks about more than just working conditions. For instance

    While the larger poultry industry in neighboring Arkansas has given rise to worker centers and advocacy groups that push back against unsafe conditions, Oklahoma’s still sizable immigrant workforce has less support

    [...]

    Immigrant workers are often less inclined than native-born workers to report unsafe working conditions or injuries because they fear losing their jobs or being deported, said Jose Oliva, the campaigns director for the HEAL Food Alliance, a coalition of organizations that represent food industry workers.

    [...]

    “This industry is really skilled at constantly seeking out who is the most vulnerable or exploitable population, and how do we bring them in,” Stuesse said.

  • That's a rather excessive amount unless you mean g protein/kg instead of g protein / lbs

    People who exercise regularly also have higher needs, about 1.1-1.5 grams per kilogram. People who regularly lift weights or are training for a running or cycling event need 1.2-1.7 grams per kilogram. Excessive protein intake would be more than 2 grams per kilogram of body weight each day.

  • Sure, but they intentionally built in large margins to these reference. Of course zero lead is ideal, but it's not what happens in practice. The metric consumer reports used has a 1000x safety factor vs the FDA's 10x safety factor

    The FDA’s studies of dietary lead exposure show that the average American adult consumes between 1.7 and 5.3 micrograms daily through their normal food intake

    [...]

    The FDA, as part of its “Closer to Zero” campaign and using a 10X safety factor, has set its reference levels at 2.2 micrograms per day for children and 8.8 for women of childbearing age (to protect against accidental fetal exposure). This means that regularly exceeding these might pose health risks.

    [...]

    California’s Prop 65, however, used a far higher 1,000X safety factor (1,000 times lower than minimal known unsafe levels) to arrive at 0.5 micrograms of lead per day as its reference level.

  • I assume you are referring to the consumer reports headlines, they have been greatly misleading. They have been using an extremely low level as their bar for concern. Here's a recent piece talking about that

    This is an unachievable safety target, significantly below the lead you get from average daily food consumption

    [...]

    But compared to the FDA’s more realistic numbers, 6.3 micrograms is 71.6 percent of the reference level for women of childearing age, meaning it’s safe even for at-risk individuals. For adult males, who are more likely to glug protein shakes, the risk is negligible. Children, with some exceptions, shouldn’t be consuming protein powder at all

    [...]

    And it bears noting that Consumer Reports’s tests showed levels of lead that were higher than tests of Huel carried out by the National Sanitation Foundation, an independent testing body, which showed that a serving of Huel Black came in under 3.6 micrograms

  • What is linked is full of misinformation and disinformation. For instance, Canola oil does not naturally contain any trans fat and only has very small traces after refining. Dairy, for what it's worth, also contains similar amounts trans fat

    The article just also completely glances over environmental factors. Even if we took all this site's claims as true (which we shouldn't, they are citing someone who works for an animal ag lobby group), a claimed 1/3 emissions instead of a 75% reduction would makes it a "lie" because it doesn't fix everything?

    This site is also full of LLM generated articles with AI generated images, and this article has some signs of LLM writing: random bold, heavy em dash use, links to articles that have zero relation, etc.
