How do I know about what I'm buying ?

Question

How do I know that what I buy at a common American store, clothing, food, etc is supporting a good working company, were the company treats all of the employees and labor linked to their company right, that there is no starving employee somewhere in China working 30 hours straight to make whatever I purchased. How do I know if the money I am paying for whatever I buy is being used for economy in a good way, benefiting workers, and helping society in a general way. How do I know any of this?

Answer 1

If you are thinking that much about what you are buying you'll end up buying nothing.  Think of it this way.  If you don't buy a shirt the starving chinese employees made the company will lay people off now the starving employee in china is worse off than they were.  You can't solve this issue until there are more jobs than there are people (which is not the case now therefore cheap labor).
