Of course, as we all know Easter eggs have nothing to do with the Christian festival (aside from this one). But I bet most people will have had one or two by now (I have; my mum sent me mini eggs, they're so cute). The big question hanging over them is, of course-- is your chocolate Fairtrade?
Now, I know a lot of people who are sick to the back teeth of folk going on about Fairtrade. What does it matter if we make the effort to buy Fairtrade bananas, or Fairtrade coffee Or chocolate? It's one thing; how does that make up for the shedload of shopping we can't go Fairtrade on?
"We support certification because we believe that is if a company doesn't know where their problems are, they can't start dealing with them. Standards bodies are the best tool we know to address these issues in the supply chain."-- Antonie Fountain, Stop The Traffik Cocoa Campaign Coordinator
I don't want to support that.
Anyway. Galaxy sucks.
