Two Hundred Fifteen

I recognize the hypocrisy in me when I express appreciation for access to—and buy—all sorts of foodstuff that comes from Asia, then object to trade agreements that negatively impact workers in the U.S. I wonder if others who share my hypocrisy recognize it.  And I wonder if they rationalize the conflict, absolving themselves of blame for the hypocrisy they abhor in others.

If we were ethical, we’d walk the walk.

  1. I started watching this, Juan, but have to pack to head home. What I saw was intriguing! I will watch this in its entirety soon. Thanks for sharing it!

    Most of the time I don’t even think about it. I just think about the food or spice or fruit that I want. That’s pretty bad of me.

    I saw this documentary not long ago that works with the notion that our dollars are our voting ballots. Interesting piece:
