By John's criteria, only the rich who can afford _not_ to eat fast food, shop at Wal-Mart, etc. can live morally correct lives. What the masses buy is cheap mass products of sweatshop labor; what the truly rich buy, in contrast, is expensive products of relatively well-paid artisanal labor. Haute couture & formal dining at fashionable restaurants (or better yet, _your own personal cook_, well compensated year-around to provide meals _at home_, to your taste & convenience) are good examples of the latter. Morally correct consumption is a luxury that only those who don't & can't count their own money can afford.
