Agree with tiggerblue - sweatshops provide the ultra-cheap clothing.
Think you've got a good thing goin Goodsoulette - you can't beat fresh food that hasn't been tampered with.
You're also right about the chickens. If you see pre-packed ones with red bits round the joints, etc., it's because the poor things've been standing or laying in urine, which's literally burnt through to the bone.
As for halal meat, I hate the thought of what the poor animals have to endure in order for people to eat, but at least it's as it comes, & not injected with water to make it look "fresher".
