A private industry survey of 179 Fair Trade farmers from Central America and Mexico came to the conclusion that more than half of their families still go hungry for several months of each year. The wage of $1.55/lb leaves the farmer only 50¢/lb after the fees, taxes, and expenses.

From time to time Winston caught some such remark as 'I think you're so right, I do so agree with you', uttered in a youthful and rather silly feminine voice.…
