I think this is just an argument for why we should decide what production practices are acceptable for society, impose it, and dole out harsh penalties for cheaters.

If you're going to line your coffers by selling things to us, then we get to decide things like whether you get to use slave labor, whether you get to adulterate it with pollutants, whether you get to lie about its contents, etc.

That way people can pick the cheapest product and receive something that isn't completely horrific. We already kinda have this, but your comment just supports the need for it.
