Do you eat bananas?
No
Also, I don't think it's a ratio issue. It's about making choices. Giving up chocolate is not all that hard to do. Being able to find affordable shoes that fit which were not made in Asian sweatshops is a lot harder.
Okay so for you chocolate isnt worth giving up slavery for but shoes are. Pretty reasonable imo. Def more conscientious than me
I try to be as ethical a consumer I can be, which is not especially ethical when you're poor. It would be nice to have the money to buy clothing made in a country less likely to be using slave labor, but it's usually more expensive and I can't come up with over $100 to buy shoes when the toe on my shoe breaks or the heel comes off.
With chocolate, I just have to not buy it and the only way my life is affected is the disappointment of not eating chocolate.
Good for you. They're disgusting.
I'm not taking this banana slander they actually goated fruit
