One with the view of a consumer never will.  One who actually
understands and is part of the industry will never do business there.

Here are two very apt and relevant analogies for you.

1)  It is like buying chicken McNuggets and being blissfully unaware
of what Tyson actually does to the chickens despite all of the
stories, documentation, and an academy award nominated documentary
titled "Food Inc.".

2) It is like a consumer buying a sweater at Wal-Mart for a couple of
bucks (or 37 cents as one late night host chastised a shopper) then
saying if you knew about the child, slave, and prison labor at their
off-shore factories you wouldn't shop there; despite all of the news
reports and an award winning documentary "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of
Low Prices" which told you exactly that.

As long as you are able to stay on the other side of the 3 Monkey
barrier, you won't know anything is wrong.
