Moral Self-Licensing, Lyme Disease, and the Lime Challenge
The concept of "moral self-licensing" is explored through the lens of viral charity challenges. A new trend involving eating a lime for Lyme disease, reportedly promoted by Ryan Seacrest and Yolanda Foster, is criticized as a superficial gesture. The segment notes that the high citric acid in limes can damage tooth enamel and that the challenge has no logical connection to the disease.
