Thanks for the pointers, I read the report from Mauricio and really liked it.
I was actually imagining people freeing their slaves instead of trying to avoid products whose production involved slave labour, thanks for spelling out the better analogy. The problem with this analogy is, though, that I imagine it to be much more difficult (less variety of products available, less information about production) and less visible/symbolic (it’s somewhat less direct than eating animals, and probably hard to tell for onlookers whether an agricultural ingredient came from a place with slaves).
