Chocolate Rabbit Dilemma in the Inferiority Complex! (feel free to laugh, please)

To nobody's great surprise, I have liberalpinko Issues about Chocolate ? production of, not consumption. And therefore ordered a bunch of Divine choc eggs and mini eggs, which have arrived.

Ah, but now I see that Mr Inferior has put some G&B eggs ? which are NOT fairly traded although more ethically produced than others, I think on our Ocado order (not yet processed); plus, crucially, a couple of Lindt chocolate rabbits.

While Abel & Cole, our rightonliberalpinko organic delivery lot, is doing mini chocolate rabbits from the Chocolate Alchemist, which are I think produced with some degree of fairness. Although not FT logoed. Also no bell round neck.

So, do I interfere with Mr Inferior's parenting/consumer rights by cancelling his rabbits in the interests of World Fairness and Equity?

(Feel free to snigger. I am, dammit.)

to be fair, he only bought them, I was the one who scoffed a whole packet of them when he left they by my computer for the day

I don't count it as a voluntary thing eating chocolate which is placed exactly where I will be sitting for 7 hours at a time. It just happens that I eat it. I'm not responsible.

I went to an innovative theatre event on Saturday to celebrate International Women's day and we sat around tables with large barsr of Cadbury's milk chocolate provided for us, together with bananas and peanuts. I don't think those were fair trade bananas or nuts either. Feminism isn't what it used to be...

You do realise that if he had bought Nestle eggs rather Lindt bunnies, that the MN jury would have ordered you to kick him out?

Email him the thread, and see what he deides to do. Am amazed that you have time to check his shopping list though.

It's the mutual Ocado list. I was putting on such things as liberalbpinkofairtraded turmeric.

Divine tastes better. Tell him hew's offended your taste buds.

I love Lindt bunnies.

AND I have 2 £1 vouchers for Lindt choc...
Oh dear - big dilemma.

  1. Buy ALL the chocolates.
  1. Make Inferiorettes debate ethical nuances of varying chocolate consumption choices. Best debater wins chocolate, loser wins an Abel & Cole carrot.
  1. Donate remaining chocolate to hester.

The Inferiorettes, having been indoctrinated by school, now lecture me on Fair Trade.

It could be worse - he could have ordered kitkats.

motherinferior · 13/03/2008 14:41

The mini rabbits are enchanting. Their size makes up for the lack of bells.

Hershey's kisses are revolting. Granular lumps of sugar-encrusted lard.

LOL at the wooden owl califrau - one of the rare threads that had me spitting coffee
