Default Thanks

Thanks for the sources for Free Trade coffee. I buy mine from Weavers Way Co-op in Mount Airy, but it's a members-only place. I never buy anything but Free Trade coffee.

the Joe's on Walnut is a cool place. I've bought coffee there in the past when I've visited the city.

YEAH. That article was AWSOME!

I wonder how many of these radical left wing liberal Iran supporting democrats
actually really know what "Fair" Trade coffee really is about.

OR are they just repeating the phrase, because it the popular and trendy thing to say?


HA HA Get a clue.

I always thought a "fair trade" or "organic" item was more expensive because the difference was substantially going towards the impverished farmer or worker or artist in a poor country. This would be the obvious train of thought for most who are unaware of how the whole system of "fair trade" labeling etc works.
