Fairtrade.

I was shopping in the grocery store when I stumbled upon this:

Look! A Fairtrade product!

What Fairtrade mean:
"Fairtrade offers producers a better deal and improved terms of trade. This allows them the opportunity to improve their lives and plan for their future. Fairtrade offers consumers a powerful way to reduce poverty through their every day shopping."
(taken from FLO)

Isn't that just brilliant? It is so wonderful to know that whatever you are eating is not a product that contributes to poverty due to big corporate company bullying.

Besides, it is pretty yummy and very addictive. Although the dark chocolate is only about 40%, it is not overly sweet. The smooth dark chocolate went so well with the layer of grainy, wheat butter biscuit. I do wish that the biscuit is a bit less thick, though.

Anyway, eradicating poverty does not have to be a big step. We can all contribute and start off with something small like getting products that only has the Fairtrade mark. (:
