You want everyone to know all of the ethical concerns involved in every kind of product, from its contents to its manufacture, transportation, packaging, et cetera? We'll all be full-time students for decades before being allowed into a Walmart, I guess. Maybe that'll bring back smaller shops, with only a Master's degree in Ethical Shopping required.

For reference, a quick search turns up estimates of 120,000+ product SKUs on Walmart shelves. Kindof a lot to keep track of, no? And no, you're not permitted to respond with some "Oh, just don't be stuck in a shitty life/place where you're stuck buying corporate 'products'" crap or else I will post a vomiting emoji at you.

There's a lot of stuff to keep track of and "free" time is intentionally kept minimal so maybe don't blame people for not knowing their shampoo is environmentally unethical whilst they're worrying about their car that's in the shop because the airbags are more lethal than most crashes, they're just now learning to avoid potatoes in their diet ( 😭 ), their boss is making them work asinine hours, and they're still busy researching the sixty thousand products from the left half of the only shop in their area.

tl;dr: How the roasted goat bollocks is anyone supposed to "know better" for absolutely everything in life? Maybe it's fair to hope for some help on these things.
