Just remember youhave to buy it so the child can have some soup, never mind it is not curing the problem it would seem

"An estimated 17 million children are working in India, most of them on farms or making carpets or firecrackers, but more and more in textiles. With increased global competition in textiles, particularly from China, child rights activists fear that the situtation will only get worse."

And do you really believe that if you and others will stop buying it Child slavery will stop ? If you won`t buy one product, another will be found, and they will be put to work on it. Any work is better than all those girls being put to prostitution in some countries. mirjam
