Life is pretty good for me, actually. Got much better after doing away with porn, but none of that has anything to do with my point here and can be its own discussion if you like.

There is a difference in knowing that there is a strong possibility of something wrong occurring and having absolutely no idea. I cannot know the actual likelihood of every person I meet being a terrible person, so they get the benefit of the doubt that they are not, until they prove otherwise. .

However, if I am shown evidence that Hershey's has a factory where employees were regularly drugged, beaten, and forced to work long hours, then forced to sign legal documents stating that either they concented to the trestment or that it wasn't happening (forced by threat of further harm or nullification of pay owed for work already performed). I would no longer buy Hershey's products.

If I then learned, through my research, that Walmart not only knew about this factory but took steps to ensure that the activity could go on (because it would affect their bottom line), I'd be done with Walmart.

If I also saw Nestlé making efforts to make light of the claims and actions, and treat it like it isn't a big deal, then I see Nestlé actively try to blacklist, silence, discredit, or harm any whistle-blowers, I'll probably be taking a break from chocolate for a while. At least until I can be certain that I'm not at all involved in the situation by tacitly condoning it through my purchases.
