How does /ck/ live with eating shrimp caught and processed by slaves? Every time I eat a shrimp I remember the burmese guy who was tied to two different thai fishing boats on the high seas and torn apart as an example to the other slaves.

It makes eating critically endangered bluefin tuna seem practically virtuous.

Not that I eat shrimp because I can't afford it but I grew up in foster care and have been poor my entire life, so while there are people in other parts of the world who might be suffering to process the food I do eat, I can't prioritize that over my need for sustenance.

Same deal with bananas, when you try to unionize in many of those countries your whole family gets killed.

There are so many foods like this. Chocolate is another example, they use child slaves to pick cacao in many parts of the world.

It's really better to not care or you will drive yourself crazy. People suffer for most of the food we eat.

You must not live in a populated area. I live on the coast too, we get all kinds of local seafood but we also get imported stuff. The Jamaicans want their kingfish, the Bengalis want their hilsa, the anglophiles want their dover sole, etc. Not everything people want lives in nearby waters.

right, but maybe the right answer is not one extreme (not caring) or the other (growing all your own food).

maybe the solution lies in a balance somewhere on a continuum.

Like, yeah, it's too inconvenient to grow all your own food, but you still try to be reasonably conscious of where the products you consume are sourced. Because you're not going to go hungry just because you don't grow your own food and you're aware of what your money supports.
