Fair
*Fair Trade USA's new labeling policy = main ingredient certified
In Gender Paradigms we talk about the importance of equality. Raising awareness about this issue begins to bring equality to children and farmers around the world!
*Competition for the brands that are 100% fair trade certified, such as Alter Ego and Equal Exchange, may be hard because they face less expensive “fair trade” products that are only 32% fair trade.
*People don’t see a difference, they will chose to buy the cheaper chocolate
In Gender Paradigms we talk a lot about how the media influences us, and how it can even give false information
"Fair Trade is doing more to combat child labor than other certifications so we as consumers must continue to push for even more purchases of Fair Trade Certified cocoa."
