The cashew preparation process often involves exploitative practices that scar the hands of workers who harvest and prepare them. It doesn't always involve these practices (though it's hard to tell which ones don't), and these practices aren't necessarily an order of magnitude worse than the inherent exploitation in the production of almost every other food item which is imported from third-world countries. Some vegans generally try to avoid cashews (and many other products) for this reason. Most don't because the list of things to avoid would leave them with very little to subside on.
