Fair Trade Fortnight 🌍

Good morning everyone, today is the start of Fair Trade Fortnight which's to raise awareness of the importance of far trade for everyone, so that big multi national co's do not take advantage of developing countries and exploit their need to export to us.

I support Fair Trade products and I would describe my food buying habits as whole food, organically produced and free range inclined, however compared to vegans and vegetarians, ethically I'm probably a selfish consumer.

I personally do not like designer foods especially when farmers have to buy expensive seeds from big chemo/agriculture suppliers.

Here's a couple of links about why we should buy Fair trade:

All the veg here I bought on Saturday and I have a few baby sweet peppers left and have eaten plenty of other fruit and veg as well. It surprises me when I see how much we eat over a few meals. Which shows just how important what we eat is as its our fuel.

Have a great day everyone and remember we are what we eat and thats not just nutritionally, there are the political and ethical issues with all our choices.

We always buy Fairtrade coffee and bananas. Fortunately we can buy a lot of locally produced veg where we live.

Hi Penny and good for you, I try and buy as much locally produced food as possible and have 3 shops near me that not only sell Fair Trade food but locally produced raw honey and I like that as the bee's may well have visited my garden. And I love honey and honey bee's. 😊
