I'm doing a project for school about Fair Trade.

I'd like to know how fair trade is in UK and USA. I already have a lot of info but could you guys tell me how you think about it? Good, bad, I don't care, etc.. ?

thx!!!

is that the thing where the companies make deals with the suppliers in poorer (LEDC) countries to give them a better deal on their resources?

Uh, actually it's that what they are trying to prevent. All the farmers, little third world companies have to sign a contract and child labour, well, they don't want it...

ermmmm well in the mothercountry (England) the supermarkets have branded products that bare the fair trade logo, thats about it that, the money goes towards the farmers so they can get better equipment and so on

yeah, in england the main fairtrade products are Chocolate and Coffee.

Chocolate - The biggest chocolate maker in England is Cadbury. In the '90s Cadbury said that fair trade would never happen and that they didn't want any part of it, but recently they have made their chocolate fair trade aswell. This has created a huge surge in the chocolate industry with many other companies following suit.

Coffee - It tastes like shit.

lol potatoe vodka? i used to know a guy that could drink a whole 26 of vodka in gulps........then he was f*cked up after lol.

I have been a very seasoned drinker for over 5 years now and I have only had maybe 2 bad hangovers. I remember once getting smashed off of 24 highballs and drank until like 2 in the morning, ordered pizza, passed out before it even got there, then waking up at 6 to work the next day lol.. needless to say i shouldnt have drove to work that day

Don't worry mate, I knew that Tim Hortons is a coffee shop. The only reason i said it was for doughnuts is because Coffee tastes like shit and Tim Hortons gave me a constant supply of Boston Cream's while i was in Canada
