I can't believe I've been doing this for three and a half months and I've yet to mention chocolate! This probably should have been a valentine's day topic but it's never too late to talk sweets. Chocolate is one of the biggest things that should be bought fair trade. Its conventional counterpart is known for slavery, child labor, chemicals and unsustainable forest care. There are plenty of other options out there so you don't have to give it up! Whole foods has "M & Ms" that are not only made with fair trade chocolate, but also natural dye coloring. Newman's Own has "Reeses" and "Peppermint Patties". There's many a chocolate bar out there with dozens of different flavor accents to choose from. Endangered Species is my favorite. It's the most economical that I can find and some of the profits go to the rain forests. You get to support two causes with one purchases. Larabars are also good because they have a candy bar like texture.
Happy Eating!
