On August 1, Isidro Cano Luna, who runs popular social media accounts in which he makes videos on weather in Mexico, released photos of the strange object dated to July 31.

But don’t call the Blackwater men “mercenaries.” That’s a “slanderous term” used by Blackwater’s detractors, “an inflammatory word they use to malign us,” says Prince. Mercenaries, he says, are professional soldiers who work for a foreign government.

Whether those concerns are justified depend in large part on which foods to which they’re allergic. Dairy and eggs, for instance, are excluded in conventional vegan fare, and many vegans eat healthy, varied diets. Other food allergies, however, pose greater challenges for vegetarians....
