Ironically, you cannot choose how comfortable the human's life is for most products.
Where do you get your human eggs?
Buried in the sand like turtles, where do you get yours?
Hard as shit to find, but looking for products from worker cooperatives can help you to find free range human goods
You kind of can depending on where it was made
In France the « bio » label (https://www.bioagricert.org/en/certification/organic-production/ab-france.html) does bot only take into account ecological properties of the product but also many metrics relative to the social quality of the company and well being of its employees.
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.
