Costco pulls a coconut milk brand due to forced monkey labor.

The wholesale giant says it's discontinuing Chaokoh coconut milk after PETA made it aware of the alleged monkey business going down in Thailand. We know it sounds like a joke: How many monkeys does it take to pick a coconut?

Pay them what they deserve!

This is the dumbest shit ever. Well wait. Prior to the shot that has been happening all of 2020.

Were monkeys complaining?

MonkeeSass outrageous!

If they didn't behave and do their jobs, did they get spanked?

Thank you for sharing this video from PETA. This is so awful.

rickygervais monkeynews! (also 😢)

Good. Damn time ppl start waking up to the BS pain and cruelty that goes into so much of the food we consume. Humans are the worst.

these monkeys are stealing good quality jobs from children

Humans are evil.....

Which is worse, monkey labor or Turkey's child labor 🤔 StopErdogan RecognizeArtsakh

Animals are not slaves or toys

Monkey labor? Wtf?

Omg

Bruh for real 🤦🏻‍♂️

Lmao so it’s okay when underage or underpaid people do it, just not monkeys? Okay.

Todd I think you're forgetting that I'm the branch manager.

So 2020

Monkeys deserve the same minimum wage as humans receive.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

Do the monkeys have a fair compensation, health benefits and the right to form a union? Can gay monkeys get the same benefits for their partners as the heteros? Can a female monkey wear tops showing cleavage at work? 🤔 PETA has their work cut out for them BananaPower

Crispy Coconut Kale With Roasted Salmon & Coconut Rice Recipe on Food52Roasting kale is one of my favorite ways to enjoy this hearty winter green. The edges become nice and crispy, which is the perfect contrast to the melt in your mouth sweet potatoes. This dish is a great balance of sweet and spicy and has quickly become one of my favorite meals to serve when I have guests over. If you're not into salmon, try topping the greens with a fried egg! It's simple and delicious and makes for some great leftovers (if there is any)! This recipe was inspired by Heidi Swanson's Kale Salad from one of my favorite cookbooks: Super Natural Every Day. upinmysky2 this sounds delicious.
