I found giving up Milo ridiculously hard at first! But now I don't crave it at all. I just find it sad how many people don't want to know or don't care that the chocolate they are treating themselves or their kids with was at the expensive of a child in slavery.
There are so many inexpensive fair-trade products available now. Aldi has lots of inexpensive fair-trade chocolate (and their fair trade tea bags are good) - so when fair-trade does not cost you any more (blaxland IGA fair-trade tea-bags are not any more expensive than normal tea) - then why do people not choose compassionately?
Apparently Nestle kit kats are now fair-trade in Australia this year, and cadbury has it's plain chocolate fairtrade.
Writing letters to companies and supermarkets helps them know that you want fairtrade and you appreciate their efforts.
It can be overwhelming but just doing a little bit at a time - focusing on one thing at time makes it manageable. And it is making a difference!
