Cadbury's Dairy Milk to go fair trade!

[morningpaper]

Soon we'll only need to feel guilty about the calories!

As long as they don't change the taste - there is no other chocolate.

FanTAStic

seeline i'm with you.
feel very guilty, but they better not feck with the taste regardless of who has to die and how much the planet has to suffer.

I'm worried - I have tried other Fairtrade chocolate in teh past and it all tasted very bitter and gritty. What will I do at Easter if Dairy Milk is no longer?

yippee!!!!!

I love CDM, but feel guilty when I buy it as I know I should buy fairly traded - and do nearly everything else I can. I am mildly nut allergic, and sometimes react to CDM, but nearly always react to fair trade chocolate.

thanks for posting that link MP, you have made my day (that's 2 Wednesdays on the trot - last week you helped me with the burning palm crosses dilemma!)

It's OK, the taste of the other Fairtrade chocolate is because they don't put crap in it, not because it's Fairtrade. I'm sure Cadbury's intend to continue putting as much crap as before into their chocolate .

I lurvvve Dairy Milk!

Is a Flake the same as Dairy Milk cos I like them but not Dairy Milk!!! Mad or what.

it's interesting to see some of these big brands slowly going over to fare trade. There was tate and lyle (sp) who went fare trade recently too.

Only one I just can't get my head around is Nescafe Fare Trade Coffee

Brilliant news!

That is truly fantastic news - I don't really like a lot of the Fair Trade chocolate much (though happily buy bananas, coffee etc) and this way DH will happily tuck into some Fairtrade choc!

Marla - my "local" shop is now a Co-op and I recently discovered their chocolate coated raisins - big bag for just under £1 - bloody marvelous - and I gorged myself on them happily in the knowledge that they were ethcal too

Faq - I agree, nestle with a conscience.not.

But fabulous news a bout cadbury.

The oxfam chocolate is AMAZING

noonki - it's funny as I don't actively boycott Nestle stuff, I understand the reasons for it but it's just something I've chosen not to do. However like you say Nestle with Fair Trade stuff is just plain weird.

It's great isn't it? Ds2 informed me of this today - they'd learned about it in assembly at school - and I was thrilled. Over dinner I told dh about it.
But apparently it was him who'd been in to school to do the assembly

We do talk to each other sometimes, honest!

That is the best news I have ever learned from mumsnet.......WOW.......thankyou!!!

That's nice. It's in the spirit of the Quakers who founded the company.
