None of us on PA have worries about our next meal or where we get to sleep tonight. So that makes us all rich to one degree.
I must be idle becuase my knowledge of the coffee trade (at least) comes from seeing a rather brilliant film at the film festival, and doing a lot of reading and so forth afterward - yup spare time i must be idle.
I'd hang around for a bit of a free and open discussion but personal attacks on any level are uncool so I'm done
and leave you with this

fair trade is better than not fair trade
so to me that's something
and why spend all your energy banging fair trade, when they do better than most. they don't profess to be perfect but it's better than not fair tradeOr becuase it's fair trade & does some good it has to be held to a higher more accountable standard than people who don't practice fair trade?
Geesh nobody will ever make an effort to change the world if small steps resulting in harsher criticism than if you do nothing.

People volunteer to collect for daffodil Day, does that make them slave labour?
Trade Aid might not be perfect, but it's a step in the right direction. It's a better more ethical business model than say supre.See it's very easy to point fingers when someone or a company is doing a little bit of good, becuase oh gosh it's not doing everything everything perfect so it must be evil.
and on the coffee note, fair trade is not a perfect concept either. Illy refuse to use the fair trade label becuase they pay coffee growers above fair trade prices.
Does that make fair trade branded coffee a sham? hell no -
