  Ooohhh I see, I am judgemental because your circumstances and stated preferences represent everyone in a hard place.

  If you both could have and would have done it, it is completely reasonable to make that an expectation on everyone who struggles.

  Your struggle was definitely representative of the worst circumstances bc you had 1 job and were a single parent – even though I mentioned how plenty of parents (including single ones) balance a FT job and gigs or a managerie of gigs. Or a FT job, single parenthood, and a disability. Or…

  If you can’t see past your own life and circumstance, but want to proscribe what other people ‘should’ do (or no longer deserve your empathy), you are the one who is judgemental.

  Wait - do you think that people who need food banks have a ton of free time for cooking clubs? Do you think it’s because they don’t work enough instead of what everyone knows which is that most people on the edge can’t make rent if they only have one job?

  The jars likely cost more than the volume of produce it could store.

  Also - have to arrange logistics for labor, supplies, and a kitchen to do the boiling in. Now that you are making a cooked food product, your kitchen also likely needs a license.

  And insurance in case your rushed pickling operation creates any jars that go foul and anyone gets sick.

  Also – ew. Not even the destitute want pickled cauliflower.

  Unfortunately, research on prisoners and concentration camp victims did produce new valuable medical information.

  Most of the field of gynecology is based on experiments done on women slaves, where the “doctors” decided their victims conveniently didn’t have nerve endings.

  Ethics throttles research.

  But I am aghast at the thought that we should permit unethical research in the pursuit of, at the end of the day, greed.

  And I say this as a professional scientist.

  I can’t believe this conversation is even necessary.

  Tell me you have no idea about the history of labor rights without telling me…
