00:00 Daily Harvest keeps getting hit with lawsuits.
00:02 Days after the meal delivery service Daily Harvest announced the voluntary recall of
00:06 their French lentil and leek crumbles, the company was hit with two lawsuits.
00:10 The recalled product caused over 130 people to go to the hospital with symptoms that puzzled
00:15 doctors.
00:16 About 40 of the customers who consumed this product also ended up having to get their
00:20 gallbladders removed.
00:21 Whoa.
00:22 Can I ask like a technical question that I'm a little bit afraid to ask at this point?
00:27 But I went to Catholic school so I don't know much about science.
00:31 What's a gallbladder?
00:32 I don't know.
00:33 It creates bile for digestion.
00:37 Do you need it?
00:38 You can get away with it but it's like problematic to not have one.
00:41 Okay.
00:42 All right.
00:43 So it's probably something you relatively need.
00:44 Got it.
00:45 Okay.
00:46 So we got that out of the way, those logistics.
00:47 I was also under the impression that these 40 and 130 people that got sick, that they
00:52 were influencers.
00:53 Oh, for sure.
00:54 And honestly, you don't wish anyone to have their gallbladder removed but if you did,
00:59 it would probably be a group of influencers.
01:00 Hey, this is the pitfalls of selling food.
01:05 But Soylent's still going around.
01:06 Soylent's still going around.
01:07 All those weirdos trying to get off food.
01:09 But yeah, Daily Harvest, they were spending a lot of money in advertising with all the
01:12 influencers.
01:13 So I guess it's only a matter of time.
01:15 French lentil and leek.
01:16 Oh, you couldn't fucking pay me.
01:18 Yeah.
01:19 And it comes in a frozen little bucket that you have to put in your freezer and then grind
01:22 through.
01:23 I hope Daily Greens is next.
01:24 You know they're up some weird shit with all the fuck they do.
01:26 Yeah, Athletic Greens or something.
01:27 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:28 There's something off with it.
01:29 Yeah, it's too much.
01:30 It's too much.
01:31 Selling this really expensive powder on the internet and people love it and it's only
01:34 because the influencers love it.
01:35 And it's like, do people actually buy that stuff?
01:37 But I don't know.
01:39 I guess if they keep hospitalizing people.
01:41 There are other powders on the internet that are sold that don't need influencers' help.
01:44 Oh, no.
01:45 Just the black one.
