Where Are You Wearing?

This is an interesting article that I found on Relevant magazine (usually a fairly liberal Christian magazine).  I've often sympathized with sweat shop workers and talked about what a tragedy it is that people are abused in such a way.  This story makes the idea seem much more personal than mere facts, though.  The author of the article brings into the spotlight a family in China who work hard in a Teva manufacturing plant (this makes me feel a tad guilty, because I have supported this company).  This brings into sharp relief my ethnocentric (and ego-centric) ideals.  I'm at a loss for a solution to this dilemma, though.  Does anyone have any ideas for ways that God would have us remedy this problem?  I know I will be praying about it.
