Ironically, you cannot choose how comfortable the human's life is for most products.

There are certifications out there like FairTrade and others that try to make labor less slave-like in the world. Guess you could call that a way of making human life more comfortable

Fair trade basically means the middle men were cut out of the process, increasing profits.

The people growing coffee for Starbucks are still impoverished.
