Such as in the recently discussed production of processed tomato.
It is a disgraceful manipulation of human beings.
However, we need to separate that use from the products themselves.
Prosecute those who use forced labour by all means.
But don't downgrade the good food they produce.
Good food is good food, wherever it comes from.
Food of known good quality should not be discarded or its use avoided.
Doing so is absolutely absurd.
Human beings cannot afford to be so cavalier about food.
Would you avoid using it if you were starving, and it were the only food available?
I think not.
So stop pursuing wasteful and stupid ideas about food.
Similarly with public figures who have been convicted of socially unacceptable crimes.
What they do in a private life should not be considered part of a public life.
Rolf Harris comes to mind.
Don't ignore his talent because of his apparent shortcomings.
If you follow that path, you will discard the input of a host of amazing men and women throughout history.
Those who have contributed their talent and expertise during the past 1000 years and beyond.
It is recorded that many were less than 'clean' in their personal lives.
But quite rightly we benefit from things they did in a well lived public life.
There is something wrong with the thinking of those whose indignation can be so clearly ill-founded.
It is time for the public to get back to basic and clear thought.
And in doing so, become far more understanding and accepting.
Which will lead to the better experience of a life well lived.
