This is what most Europeans I know don't WANT to realize. It's not their fault, it's the fault of the country we've went to make our products. Somehow, this seems enough of a excuse for many. It's really sad. People understand the issue, but somehow they ignore the factual reality. Maybe because it's not a physical reality that can be seen or touched. We read about it, we see statistics, but we don't really know the people we abuse for our products.
Maybe it is a bit like meat production. Everyone knows how it is done. Most think that these kinds of animal abuse are not okay and should be forbidden. But the next day, people go into their favorite shop and proceed to buy the cheapest meat they can find.
