TIL about "Swill milk" where cows were fed distillery waste causing cow teeth rot and disease. It was also adulterated with raw eggs, burn sugar, etc. Swill milk lead to over 8,000 infant's deaths - eviltoast

    I‘d love to see humans being treated like they treat those they think of as lesser, just for one day.

      Maybe it’s because I used to live near a prison, and I had to go to the same hospital prisoners would in emergencies, but when did humans stop treating other humans like that?

        Prisons are a great example how vile the human species can be. Not the people in there but those enforcing prisons.

        social hierarchy is a relict like cannibalism and incest.

            You mean like in the book “eating animals”? I still have the pictures in front of my inner eye from being told some lines from the book. Its grueling.
