I'm pointing out that those aren't the only two options, and it's unfair to imply that they are, or that people who buy products like these do so because they don't want to *really* do something to make a difference.

This is how I see it too. If you like the pants, or whatever, great, buy them.

I agree it shouldn't earn you a gold star on your permanent record and it's probably not the ideal solution to a horrible…
