You ever notice how "fair trade" has become this buzzword? I mean, it's great, right? But sometimes, I feel like the term "fair trade" has taken on a life of its own. Suddenly, everything's got to be fair trade! I went to buy some coffee the other day, and the cashier looked at me like I was committing a crime when I didn't specifically ask for "fair trade" coffee. I felt like I was being interrogated! "Do you swear to only consume coffee that ensures fair wages for farmers?" I just wanted my caffeine fix, not a guilt trip!
You know, fair trade is like that one friend who's always reminding you to be a better person. It's like, "Hey, you know you could be saving the planet if you bought this fair trade product instead." Thanks, fair trade, for making me feel like I'm single-handedly responsible for saving the rainforest while I'm just trying to decide between two chocolate bars! Next thing you know, fair trade will start giving out awards for the most ethical shopper. "Congratulations, you bought ethically! Here's a gold star sticker for your conscience." But hey, at least my guilt trip comes with a sticker, right?
Let's talk about fair trade clothing. You know, the stuff that's supposed to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside because it's ethically sourced? Well, I tried buying a fair trade shirt once. I thought, "I'm doing my part for humanity!" But then, after one wash, that shirt started looking like it belonged to my 5-year-old niece! It turns out the only thing "fair" about it was the chance it gave to moths to play a game of buffet on my dime. Fair trade might be fair to farmers, but it's definitely not fair to my wallet!
Have you noticed that sometimes the "fair trade" label feels like a participation trophy? It's like, "Congratulations, you bought coffee! Here's your medal for not contributing to global exploitation." But then you look at the price tag, and suddenly, that "fair trade" coffee is also "unfairly" expensive! I feel like I'm in an ethical dilemma every time I approach the coffee aisle. Do I choose the morally responsible option or do I take out a loan to afford my morning cup of joe?
