Your local supermarket sells really delicious potato crisps. They‟re
also really cheap. One day a friend tells you that the crisps are made
from potatoes which are picked by children. What‟s more, the children
are not paid. They work 12 hours a day. All they get is a bed and an
evening meal. Many of them are sick and unhappy.
Question: Would you keep buying the crisps?
