Ha! A boss of mine some 20 years ago told me the bible said we would know the apocalypse was eminent when there was an emphasis on the butt.

Damn.

Amazon is a marketplace. Why would you blame the platform and not the seller?

Most vegans know gelatin of any kind is rarely animal-free. The packaging claimed the supplements contained 'natural' 'herbs', and it did.

This is a rare miss for ars technica. I usually love their work.

It's a total click bait piece.

If anything it's the purchasers fault because she didn't research her supplements.

I don’t know about how it is where you live but our local market organisers vet their sellers before allowing them. I expect an online marketplace to do the same.

I find my local market organizers don't care many times and let whoever sell homeopathic items and essential oils with false claims.

But it's local!

A lot of times it stuff bought off of Amazon and assembled half hazardously in someone's house so it becomes 'local'

Plenty of great local goods too but I do my due diligence as a consumer and don't just relay on the store to decide if it's good for me.

If someplace is selling something, I don't instantly go "wow, must be 100% safe, no need to take a closer look at this"

I use my noodle and look up brands and products I haven't heard of online before I purchase.
