Most coffee growers get bugger all money from the corporations. To put it in perspective, there is a "fair trade" coffee (www.globalexchange.org/campaigns/fairtrade/coffee/) that is available, which is very similar in price (to the non fair trade stuff), but the coffee growers get 2-3 times as much as a non fair trade coffee grower (I'm not entirely sure how the figures stack up but it is substantial). Another example is "no sweat" shoes (www.nosweat.org.uk)(shoes that aren't made in third world "sweatshops" (nike is a good example), but are made in the third world). As you probably know corporations are all about $$, and they will screw lots of people over to get it. As we don't hear much from the third world, it means that the corporations can get away with their screwing over a lot more. -- Marsh Lion We don't know what we do
