maybe my reading comprehension took a hit somewhere down the line...what i`m reading is "Walmart and two other supermarket chains said they were suspending dealings with Adkin Blue Ribbon Packing Co, the Michigan-based supplier at the heart of the latest scandal. Walmart will not buy anything from Adkin "pending the outcome of an investigation by our ethical sourcing team", a company spokesman said.

hardly"involved" in it..:rolleyes:

""Human rights groups have stepped up their calls for a clampdown on agricultural businesses, where they say children are routinely exploited. Poor families put their children to work to make ends meet, while agriculture bosses,***** struggling to meet supermarkets' relentless demands for lower-priced goods********, are turning a blind eye, campaigners say...

the supermarket`s relentless demands.....

ok garden, so Wal-Mart is getting product from this supplier at a substantial percentage cheaper than other suppliers. They have no obligation of finding out why? Just don't ask don't tell. Why does a overwhelming majority of their products come from China and such.

Because union workers in the USA don't want to pay ridiculous prices for union made goods, and can buy cheap Chinese shit for a lot less?
