Food For Thought
Hi folks,Okay, so that title is comppetely overused, but in this case it really does apply. Went to the launch of Dublin as a Fairtrade City last night. It was nice, if a little bit... official for me. The speeches were heartfelt, though, and it really made me proud of what this wee island of ours is acheiving. Dublin Co Co had to get 120 businesses to stock Fairtrade products before they could be crowned... loads of hard work.
What really did it for me last night was the amount of Fairtrade food on display. I haven't started my challenge yet - I'll start on Monday, but I'm already aware of the lack of fruit and veg available for me. But last night I spotted lychees, pineapples, mangos, avacados, booze (wine's made from grapes!) so reckon I'm going to be more sorted than I thought.
Watch this space...

Hello Miss Canny!
Well done, you ROCK.
Does everything you use over the next few weeks have to be fair trade? Shampoos and toothpaste? Would fair trade milk then be UHT or fresh? Would be good if you posted up a top ten discoveries in Fair Trade food after this adventure.
Keep up the super fantastic work!
