i think you have good intentions but you're wasting your time - because even though it's bad that people who produce our food are working under rough conditions in some cases, the truth is that most people don't want to pay more for their food or anything else.
ultimately, who pays for the higher cost of improved wages? - everyone. to pick on a retailer and boycott them only hurts their business, and then their employees have less hours and less pay, and their families suffer too.
perhaps your time and money would be better spent trying to raise money for these groups of people, because in the end isnt that the result of your work??? higher prices for food, again leading to suffering to those who can least afford it??????
