When faced with the choice to harm themselves a great deal (i.e. losing their job, especially in such a way that might make it hard to find another) in order to probably accomplish nothing at all, or to contribute in a small way to evil, most people choose to go along with evil. The ones who don't we rarely hear about (there are exceptions, obviously) because... they didn't accomplish anything.

You can have a lower-middle class lifestyle as a consumer advocate. The movie 'the world according to monsanto' is a fine piece of journalism that goes into the stories of these fellas.
