A man sits in a cafe.
He sips delicious Guatemalan coffee, where forced labourers, some as young as five years old, toiled under cruel and dangerous conditions to pick his beans.
He enjoys a yogurt with tasty Argentinian blueberries, that were also harvested using child labour.
He Tweets from an iPhone, made by chronically overworked Chinese labours who fall from from exhaustion and use tin that is sourced from illegal Indonesian mines that regularly kill people.
Just fifteen minutes in my typical day.
