    So you won't wear fur but you will continue to support degenerative agriculture by wearing a crop with a long history of enabling the slave trade.

      Have you seen what cotton monocropping did to the South? It isn't pretty, and I'm not just talking in terms of the human costs of slavery. Add in 150 years of chemical fertilizers and government subsidies to the same carbohydrate industry that had just as great a role in enabling slavery as cotton, and you compound the problem.
