Re: No ethical consumption under capitalism

The slightly more expensive, but wholesomely branded alternative is just as bad. With food it'll often be made by the same company, and even come from the wholesaler.

Was out buying some cookware yesterday. "Simon Gault" branded pan - near $200. Exactly identical in every respect (size, shape, colour, materials, decorations and literally everything else) other-brand - $50. Why do people put up with this? Nothing but the brand is changed!

And this is from one of NZ's most ethical firms!
