But why should the two things be mutually exclusive? Why can we not support our own produce and goods and also promote some fairtrade things? You're making it sound like I'm suggesting you buy all your things via Fairtrade which I'm not.

It's not a case of one or the other. I have agreed with you that locally produced goods should be promoted more, so get down to the market hall and buy from independent suppliers and more local fruit and veg! You can do that AND support the odd product from Fairtrade.
