fair is fair

i don't eat most chocolate because about 90% of cocoa isn't fair trade, and that's brutal. so, when i was reading people's lists of their food weaknesses, i realized i can't list chocolate anymore. i discovered a principle - in this case, social justice - that made it impossible for me to indulge the way i used to.

why am i not bound by some principle involving my health? why can't i be fair to myself?

I never thought about not eating chocolate for social justice issues. Thanks for bringing that to light. That makes it easier to avoid for me ;)
