Lead pigment in turmeric is the culprit in a globa...
in the article it asserts that the farmers didn't know the effects of lead chromate on human health, they were just "expanding their business".
I guess since it's just fraud and negligence, we should forgive it?

Well, it’s more about the origin of the farmers than anything else. If they where American or European farmers, you can be sure NPR would mark them as the villains of this story.
