He hires one and the same. He could pay more for his produce (either cash to a
farmer or in his own time), but he wants cheap veg and doesn't mind such
shortcuts. Neither do you.

Nope, those who are only willing to pay him the most meager wages to grow the
cheapest vegetables are fully responsible. You can ante up and have him grow
without pesticides and to pick by hand (you've got to pay for the extra time
that would take), but you choose cheap veg instead so the blood is on your own
fat hands.
