That stuff is really expensive. I really do what to buy smart, and made in the USA, but this is so out of my price range.

Also, there is not much selection even if the prices were in my price range.

This is like so many things.....the only people who can afford to be responsible with some of these companies are the 1%. It is as if they are taking advantage of people who care what they buy.
