Do you have more information about "Tony's chocolate"? Where do you find them? Do they say that the are Fair Trade certified? Do they claim to certify chocolate is fair trade? Do they sell chocolate? Do they show a logo for Fair Trade? Do they say who certifies that it is Fair trade?

Seeing to believe, have you got a Hebrew version of Wikipedia? why don't you look it up there.

I've skimmed thru the article and I believe your answer is there.

They are striving to be 100% slave free and have gone thru some ups and downs. As anybody in that position would do.

Sounds like they should be supported.

They do sound like a good company with good ethics. I wonder why they don't get Fair trade certified.

I try to buy only ethical chocolate, but I don't always remember to check. It certainly makes it easier to trust a company that uses Fair trade certification. It's one thing to claim that you only use ethically produced and purchased chocolate in your products. It's another to have a reliable company certify it.

i asked because some authoritative person told me that it is not really fair trade if i remember correctly..
i thought this brand was common in all western countries.
never mind. i understand that i was maybe mislead by the person who told me that they aren't truly fair trade..

i didn't thought about visiting wikipedia because i'm not using wikipedia.. i won't tell the reason i'm not using it because it is not allowed to say..

i will buy tonys when i buy..
tnx

It really does suck that, say, being less ethical can lead to cheaper product, whereas being say, free trade leads to more expensive of a product. Like I understand the reasoning behind why slave free would be more expensive (hey you actually have to pay your workers or pay them more than a dollar a day), but it does suck that they say, can't get a tax break or something for being more moral.

I'm with Taxlady. I love supporting ethical chocolate. I just wish "crime didn't pay."
