Fair trade, and the fairness of the fair way that the fair is fared.

Fair trade is trade in which fair prices are paid to the producers of developing countries. You might think "Shouldn't it always be like that?"In my opinion, it should be, but it isn't. Many chocolate, coffee, and other producers use cheap child labor for their products. But, with fair trade, the workers are not children and they are paid a reasonable, fair price. Many African countries make and sell coffee and chocolate, but only five of them are involved in fair trade! I support fair trade and I think it should happen worldwide. Do you think every country should be involved in fair trade, and would you do anything to help it?
