[Sorry for the delay. I have been super busy.] Effective Altruism Global Poverty Bangladesh has eliminated lead from spices such as turmeric. Previously, spices were the primary source of lead exposure for Bangladeshi people. In India, “sound boxes” read out payment confirmations, which helps illiterate small-scale vendors accept digital cash.
The "Incest Diary" review was interesting, but one of the author's arguments seems like it might prove too much. Her discussion about how the state of "wanting it" can be shaped by adult violence, and how the author's relationship with Carl is a "price" that she pays, come dangerously close to a fully general argument against wanting anything. The problem with telling someone that they only want something because something in their past made them become the kind of person that wants it is that it is true of literally everything a person wants.
There needs to be, at the very least, a more narrowly tailored argument that is capable of differentiating wants instilled by abuse from wants instilled by normal development. Maybe by introducing the ideas of ego-syntonic or ego-dystonic desires?

Sensible. Food labeled as "vegan" or "vegetarian" tends to be bad. (I say this as a vegan.)
Hey Ozy!
