Why?

I've been reading a lot lately about the state of the agriculture industry, shocked and dismayed at many of the practices. Completely mortified by others...

But where does it end? I can choose not to eat meat, and instead eat fruits and vegetables picked by under-paid and exploited workers that then traveled hundreds of miles?

So what am I supposed to do? I am trying to raise conscience children, aware of their impact on the world, trying desperately to shield them from the commercialism ever-present in society.

Why is it that I can't even feel good about buying an apple these days?
