It's nice to think that people care, but look at Gap* and Nike (the two bigest offenders in the sweatshop business, some Gap highlights include workers as young as 4, wages ranging from 8 to 11 cents per hour, 18-hour days with no overtime pay, 8 people per 2-person room in factory dorms, lcoked bathrooms, blocked fire escapes, and "disappearances" among thsoe who try to unionize, all on American soil.) They're huge and the stuff is popular. Coca-Cola murders union leaders in foreign bottling plants, and who are the top cola producers?
You give far too much credit to the general population in terms of how much they care about where sutff comes from and how it gets from raw materials to our shopping cart.
