I Am Appalled
The more research I do, the more I feel like I should dig a hole and climb in.
Is there nothing in this world that we use that isn't using slave labour to produce?
How hard is it to find products that aren't being made by slaves?
And child slaves too?
I'm using an iPad. I have an iPhone. The research I've done says it was very likely produced by bonded workers or child slaves.
Starbucks. Tim Hortons. And I don't know how many others. Slave labour coffee.
Too many chocolate companies to name, using slave labour.
This could become a ten page diatribe, but I just don't know what it would help. The whole thing makes me cry. Makes me sick.
This is just one site; one article I've read in the last couple of days. If you can bear to read about our guilt, then read this. If not, I don't blame you.

I almost wish I hadn't done the research, because I have discovered that it's nigh on impossible to not use something that slaves of all ages have made for us, in our safe little spaces to use, for fun and food. Clothing. Bedding. Pet products. All our luxuries and most of our necessities. Brought to us by slaves.
