And I'm really hoping that part of the reason my organic fruits and veggies are more expensive, is that they're paying people with his job more of a fair wage than the insanely cheap 'chemical' fruit & veg from Costco.
(But I know that may not be reality. I hope it is, though.)
It is so sad. We went to Venezuela and happened to talk to a parking lot guard at a highway rest stop. He worked 12 hours a day for 6 days, got one day off, then worked 12 hours a night for 6 nights and switched again. A similar face with a similar spirit. The spirit of poverty indeed.
