A. Like others have said, the taste quality is very variable, so it's not for that. The exception for me is Montezuma's chocolates, and they've written a very interesting piece on "Trading Fairly vs Fairtrade" here (http://www.montezumas.co.uk/montezuma/?id=73) B. Yes, this is the most important point for me. C. No, because there are a very few products produced by the big manufacturers for which I can't trace suitable alternatives, so I'll minimise my spending with them but I won't avoid them outright. D. On the whole, yes, but I am concerned that as the organisation grows that corruption is more likely to sneak in.
A: fair-trade chocolate is often superior, but there are exceptions to this. I wouldn't buy bad (i.e. sugary) chocolate just because it is fair trade. B: yes C: No, I worked for a multinational until recently. D: yes
