I understand but when I made that comment I was quoting directly from your post. I thought you were repeating it because you believed it. My apologies but the remark was valid in any context.
Well, believing what you read on the Internet or coming from people who don't really know what they are talking about is the biggest part of the problem. Accepting that "industrial processes are dirty and/or toxic" and that there's nothing we (esp. as consumers) can do about it, is the other half.
If "knowlege is power" ignorance is dependency.
In that case, I'm glad it wasn't my bullshit. That was part of Nick V's post.

The trouble is that much of the time we don’t know what we are getting. Most of us are here because we like leather shoes, with or without leather soles. If they are more environmentally friendly than fully synthetic running shoes, and don't leech oestrogens into our bodies, that's a bonus. Fact of life: many industrial processes are dirty and/or toxic. It won't stop me from buying shoes.
