It is an important alternative to our current system of market value. You may note that an international labor relations board found two very large U.S. based companies guilty of continuing to use cocoa produced with child slave labor. Yes, that's right slave labor still exists and is used to produce all too many products that find its way into the U.S. marketplace. The certified fair trade label is one tool to ensure that you do not inadvertantly support exploitive labor practices through your purchase. Thanks again for providing a forum to bring the importance of fair trade to light. All the Bes, Randy Thanks for giving attention to some of the important issues over fair Trade.
