Default Losing weight AND being an Ethical Consumer

I am an environmentalist, a 'greenie', a 'treehugger', whatever you want to call it.....I've been a vegetarian on and off for years (currently OFF though I eat very little meat), I recycle and compost and make my poor husband use post-consumer-waste toilet paper, lol. I am pretty rabid about boycotting companies when I find their business practices inappropriate....I'm proud to say I've never eaten at Cracker Barrel, haven't had a slice of Domino's Pizza in more than 20 years, etc. But Man, it's hard to be an ethical consumer when you are trying to lose weight!! I find something that would be appropriate for my diet.....and it's made by a company that does something horrible. I'm pretty funny in the grocery store....checking both the ingredients list and the company/manufacturer. My husband and stepson will come up to me with an item in their hand and say, "Is this okay or is it made by The Bad Guys?" LOLOL!!

Does anyone else struggle with this? Oh, I wish there was a Whole Foods nearby.....
