How do you reasonably do that, though? The average person doesn't have the time or expertise to track the supply chain of ~anything they buy. At point-of-sale

How do you reasonably do that, though?
The average person doesn't have the time or expertise to track the supply chain of ~anything they buy. At point-of-sale you're presented with, at best, a price and a brand name. And in many cases nowadays, like on Amazon, the brand name is just throwaway semi-English gibberish that rotates out every 4-8 weeks and has 5000+ fake reviews and is just some generic garbage that's being resold off Alibaba.
I think it's really fair to say this is something that needs to be done by government regulation, not individual people.
Even businesses will struggle with this unless they're in the top % of companies (both $-wise and market capture wise) and can afford to force their supply chain to capitulate to their audits/compliance demands.
