What? these inhumane working conditions aren't appealing to any human. Nobody is asking to reduce the demand for their labor, maybe the product should be priced accordingly to facilitate good working conditions and pay instead.

This is your privilege talking. Billions of people find them far more appealing than a precarious life of backbreaking farm labor.
