Does Nestlé's annoucement that Kit Kat is going fairtrade mean I can start eating Kit Kats again? Boycotting Nestle has been second-nature for decades (because of their appalling record promoting formula milk to mothers in poor communities - see http://www.babymilkaction.org/)
The thing is, it sounds like they are going for the real thing: proper Fairtrade certified fairtrade, not the fairtrade-lite that is the fashionable Rainforest Alliance certification. So it sort of makes Nestle an ally in the RFA-Fairtrade debate.
I don't know, I can't help being suspicious and it's not convinced the Boycott Nestle people. I'll stick to fairbreaks or chocolate from the co-op where possible.
Added later - some people think it brings fairtrade into disrepute.
