I can't believe still happens, but guess that is what happens when we consumers demand cheap products.

I don't eat much seafood but From now on I am going to avoid CP foods and its other companies.

what do you guys think? Abhorrent stuff.

This is basically the business model of tesco(and others) at work, not the rubbish they teach you at business school.

Supermarkets can provide cheap food without having to resort to slave labour. The problem here is not necessarily customer's demanding cheap food, but the profit motive that drives so much of the economy and industry.
