it's a little bit funny...

don't you think it's weird how you can go into a coffee shop and see "fair trade coffee" on the menu or in bags, but you don't see "unfair trade coffee" written in front of everything else? i mean, by offering the option of fair trade, companies are essentially admitting that the rest of their merchandise was not purchased for a fair price. yet when they hand you your latte they don't say, "here's your iced triple grande nonfat latte courtesy of a small indonesian family working their butts off living on pennies a day in a hut on the other side of the world so our company could make an 80% profit on this drink instead of 75%. take care now. b'bye."

i guess i kinda feel the same way in grocery stores these days as they expand their small organic foods section. it will bring a smile on my face the day they change the signs over the organic merchandise to just say "bananas" while the sign on the other side of the aisle says "bananas pumped full of nasty chemicals."

cheers.
