Follow the shenanigans of Fairtrade Woman on MySpace Our good friend Becks, from the Make Trade Fair team, has decided to transform herself into the magnificent Fairtrade Woman for the entirety of Fairtrade Fortnight. For two whole weeks she will eat nothing but Fairtrade food– doesn’t sound that difficult, but when you look at her options you may think otherwise. To show your support for Becks, and follow her Fairtrade experience, add Fairtrade Woman as your friend on MySpace >> posted at 12:17 PM | Permalink 12 comments   Comments: GenerationWhy and Oxfam accept no responsibility for the content of comments in the Blog.

Sainsbury's do good FT wines. By  Anonymous, February 26, 2007 6:36 PM   Are there any FairTrade Products that cannot be eaten by vegans or vegitarians ? Help ! By  Anonymous, February 28, 2007 1:14 PM   Make a Banana , nut , choclate and avocado smootie, hope you can drink it for the next 12 days..... By  Anonymous, February 28, 2007 2:34 PM   I've made a FT choclate cake, but couldn't live on Fairtrade only, why doesn't she buy local produce also ? By  Anonymous, March 01, 2007 2:07 PM   If everyone did this everyday the shelves would be empty , and all goods that were not fair-traded certified would stay on the shelves unsold.I boycotted SA goods many years ago. perhaps the FT man and becks should do this for more than a fortnight ? By  Terry, March 01, 2007 6:19 PM   good point above. fair trade is a great alternative to unfairly traded products from abroad but the biggest impact would be to eat fairtrade where appropriate (can't live without fairtrade bananas) but then to make an extra effort to eat good quality, local, seasonal food from good independent retailers. stick one to the supermarkets who make food disporoportinately cheap at any cost to the enviroment and to producers all over the world (including here in the uk). By  Anonymous, March 02, 2007 9:11 AM   Love the idea of Fairtrade :) By  Paul G, March 07, 2007 12:12 AM   Love it !!!!!! By  Anonymous, March 07, 2007 12:12 AM   Well done for sticking to Fairtrade goods for a fortnight. By  Anonymous, March 10, 2007 12:41 PM   Post a Comment
