I've always bought fair trade stuff ( yeah I'm a hippy )....but I have a friend who is really against it. The gist of her arguement is that it forces people in third world countries to be dependent on first world countries economies and that this is ultimately a bad thing as they should be concentrating on their own self sufficiency or supplying a small local market economy. I do see her point, but I guess I think that in an imperfect world, fair trade does give some people help, so I carry on buying the stuff.
Yesterday I bought a carrier bag full of sausage rolls of a large size for a quid. Somehow I doubt its fairness on the producer... ...but they taste so good!
I don't know....if you bought a carrier bag of large sausage rolls for a pound...I think I would worry more about the fairness on the consumer than the producer....how are you feeling?
