  1. Much better: Don't blame anyone. Everybody involved this business is a willing participant and benefits from it. None of them would do it otherwise.

  2. "Where are all the profits going???" Profits are what's left after all expenses have been paid, incl. salaries, utilities, machines, tools, raw materials, land costs, taxes. Profits always (yes, always) go to the owners of the business, incl. share holders. My question to you is: How do you know if there are any profits at all? The video didn't say anything about that. Lots of businesses are not profitable, and some end up going bankrupt.

  3. 8:56 "In the 2010s, western countries co-opted coconuts as superfoods". This should read 'USA', not 'western countries'. The whole idea of 'superfoods' is a scam that we in Europe have yet to fall for. Rather, in Europe we divide foods into two categories: Delicious foods, and not so delicious foods. I admire the woman at 9:27 who tries (in vain) to get some reality into our understanding of foods, but she is fighting an uphill battle in a society where people are willing to believe pretty much anything without evidence.
