: This is fine for an ever narrowing vision the "(people)" who depend more and more on consumer products produced at starvation wages in 3rd world countries.

Are they? Most food, indeed most goods, in the west is produced in the west using western resources (ie not african crops or soil). A lot (and it is a lot) of food is produced abroad - is this the dependancy you mean?

: That they (the 3rd world workers) should be included in the calculous of production and consumption never occurs to those happy to indulge in enjoying the spoils - even those that foul the nest.

Are they slaves then? Or are they simply earning less per hour? This isnt a pleasant truth - but its the best way to redistribute wealth to other countries (to avoid, as much as possible, the transference of taced wealth to 3rd world statist)
