Our shop buys only 100% Fair Trade coffee supplied by True Blue Coffee Roasters. We buy it mainly because they have the best coffee on the market.

How can you call it "fair trade" when the price is set by socialist bureaucrats. The only fair trade is free trade, only the market can set a fair price. Fair trade is nothing more than a smart marketing tatic used to sell to market segments that crave moral high ground.

There's a huge difference between fair and free trade. Fair is superior as it encourages corporate responsibility. What's wrong with realizing that it doesn't make sense and will cause future problems to clear cut and do something to solve that problem. A saved dollar today can cost thousands in problems down the road.

echoing hometownhero... I work at a coffee shop in th midwest that is 100% fair trade on all it's coffees, teas etc... And I agree with what the point your trying to make with the film all the way... but... when You present a documentary You have to check your facts. As anti-starbucks as I am I know straight up that They do not clear cut on plantations on the contrary they pay the farmers they do business with a higher amount than the world average for their beans

...some of the people you interviewed in this short either straight out lied or were just ignorant of the truth, either way it damages the credibility of your position and mine as well.

Big companies like Nestle, Sara Lee, and Proctor and Gamble care more about their profits than by taking care of those people who produce their goods. Fair Trade guarantees the farmers receive a fair price for their goods so that they can support themselves, they can get medical care, education for their children, and leave them with a sense of dignity intact.

Big companies don't force them into a corner. Our government meddling with the economy gives large companies an unfair advantage. Stop doing that and you won't have to worry about these people.
