If I said to you right now "you can get amazing quality clothes for $10, a new, fast car for $5,000, and nearly-free seafood of any type you might desire", would you want me to tell you that I was doing it by beating and killing enslaved people, dumping toxic waste in to rivers, giving kids in poor countries asthma, and destroying the life support networks people will rely on for the next century?

Modern life is pretty damn great but let's not kid ourselves that it's basically theft from the poor and the young.
