Fair Trade

Got a coffee ahead of a day in the uni library from As Nature Intended at the Belconnen Markets… I knew I’d be getting fair trade coffee and all (Sacred Grounds) but I wasn’t expecting the cup to be “compostable”…

Not quite sure how it all works, I assume that the thin plastic coating is okay for worm tummies and the lid’s Ingeo Biopolymer is okay for wormy tums too?

Interestingly, the recycling code is no 7…. The “other” group. From what I understand… #7 may indicate BPA content, but it may not, as it’s such a cluster of plastics. According to their website Ingeo doesn’t contain BPA. So drink up! ;)

So far, so good, anyway.

We may have a little victory in the search for a cane sugar-free, dairy free chocolate that doesn’t have a laxative effect or taste like ew.

Loving Earth produce a range of raw chocolate bars that are dairy-free dark chocolate and sweetened with Agave syrup. They’re vegan and also gluten free. Oh and fair trade cocao, but made in Australia. Sweet.

I shared an almond bar with my workmates this afternoon, who all approved, and were also happy for me ;) I’ll try the others at some point (I have the lucoma and maca one to take to my eight hours of uni on Sunday. I think I’ll need it!) but even if there’s only one awesome flavour, it’s a great start!

(available online, or from various health food stores in Australia, NZ, Malaysia, Japan and Israel, apparently!)
