This is a debate that happened on the JUSTCOFFEE.COOP website that posed some very interesting questions about fair trade coffee.   Just Coffee has a blog site that welcomes questions of any material, cause fair trade is a lifestyle, not just an ideal.

In this instance Anonymous decided to question transparency and seems to know some weak spots of Fair Trade Coffee.  At times this person seems a little cynical, and needs to realize that this is only the begining.  Fair Trade will not stop at 1.51/pound.   It will someday become DEEP fair trade, and everyone involved will have a higher quality of life.  We have to work towards that.  

Happy reading!
