Are You Sure Slaves Didn't Pick the Produce [alternet.org]

Post by realman »

Teaser quote from AlterNet's post of the EcoSalon article:
If you think buying organic, locally-raised food from the farmers' market means that the workers who harvested your food were treated fairly, it’s not necessarily a given.

I can already hear folks bemoaning "What do we do about this now?" -- and the article offers some suggestions. To be clear, the article is not an expose of systematic abuses nor a rallying cry, but it does raise awareness that sometimes worker abuses exist in organic farms.

The entire article is here:
