Heme ingestion is strongly associated with colorectal and esophageal cancers. Heme is what gives these fake meats the "true meat flavor". I just find it difficult to believe that the FDA will continue to allow these producers to inject a known carcinogen into their products. I'm frankly a bit shocked that the media has not picked up on this aspect.

One can find several scientific studies at nih.gov regarding heme's cancer risk.

I want to agree with you. But, I just realized (having just posted a review of one of the books) that Amazon has a policy of taking up to 3 days to review and then allow a review to be shown. So, Amazon's incentive is to have 5 star reviews in order to sell books. I suppose that I need to rescind my above comment regarding the free market. Amazon will promote this conspiracy crap because it sells books. I think I need a hot bath and a shot of, well, not shots.

So, why complain? To me, if there is free or cheap content, then get it, read it, and post online reviews. If you read it and object, then post a negative review and shame them out of the market. Be honest about it. At least read it and post an honest review. That is how the market works. Why is the headline here trying to blame Amazon? To me, this is a great opportunity to let the review/free-market work.

Submission + - Federal shutdown may send millennial workers to exits (techtarget.com)

dcblogs writes: The federal government measures the “engagement” of its federal workforce once a year with a massive survey of 1.5 million employees. And what it has found is that most federal workers are very dedicated to their work. Its most recent survey, the 2018 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, asked employees if they are "willing to put in extra effort to get their job done," 96% of the survey takers responded affirmatively. Moreover, 91% agreed with the statement that they "look for ways to do their jobs better," and 90% "believe their work is important." But this job dedication is being tested by the U.S. government shutdown, and most at risk of leaving are Millennial-age workers. Less than 6% of federal employees are under the age of 30 and represent half of all people who leave an agency within the first two years.
