Hurray for Cadbury
April 13th, 2010
For those of you, like me, who love chocolate there is some good news. Cadbury are now selling blocks of fairtrade milk chocolate. How wonderful is that? I haven’t bought much Cadbury over the last few years as I like to buy Fairtrade so it was fun to buy some today. I try to eat dark chocolate myself (fairtrade of course) but Christy enjoys her milk chocolate. Anyway, just wanted to make sure all my fellow chocolate lovers knew about this. I think it’s so wonderful that the cocoa workers will be get paid a decent wage and be looked after, and Cadbury aren’t even increasing the price of the blocks! So it’s really the best of both worlds.
I believe it’s already available in the UK, and Canada and New Zealand are soon to follow. I hope next year I can buy fairtrade Easter Eggs – now that would be truly great! I hate buying chocolate that I know is heavily reliant on child labour (and by default child trafficking).
Hi Libby
Yes, I saw this in the supermarket last week. Now I can pig out without feeling guilty. I just wish they would start doing an organic range.
Have never seen that before…I wonder why Cadbury thought to add “Same Great Taste”, as if child labor makes a difference in the flavor of the chocolate! Maybe it’s man-made chocolate, like Chatham emeralds or lab created sapphires! LOL…With Cadbury taking the initiative, maybe other chocolatiers will follow.
