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.

Coca-Cola did not murder anyone. The foreign bottling plant was a sub-contractor, and Coca-Cola was found by a federal judge to be completely innocent of any charges.
Anyway, I would personally rather buy a fabricated diamond. They're at least slightly cheaper, and they are perfect.
