Dairy If you come back to this thread I should say despite pontificating against children working as an eThIcAL DOn't, I am not wholly against the experience and money that working from a young age can bring, and appreciate that it is important for many families to have the income for subsistence. I had a lot of under age employment myself some of it very unpleasant eg. picking daffodils from a nursery infested with nettles without protective gloves aged 9. The real issues for me are the working conditions and whether the child has good educational opportunities to ever escape from the poverty of their lifestyle. I would hope that industry takes a sensitive approach and doen't just terminate contracts which will harm poor families and probably just drive the practice underground. 3. Dairy

(it sounds better if you sing the answer TI LA DO (EThIcal DOn't) (NO sung to DO) than LA TI DO ? Moving on from flippancy I am interested in shopping but not 'just any' shopping' with retailers signed up to 'The Ethical Trade Initiative' . 3 dairy
