You see the whole thing about 'ethical' products are you take one step and its a slippery slope to rack and ruin. If you want to start spouting ethical make sure ALL your food investments/fuel/clothes/ in fact EVERY part of your life is ethical or your just paying lip service to the whole ting which in my book makes you worse than someone who stands up and says they can clear it in their conscience.
So stand up and be counted or shut up and put up, are you 'ethical' or not

I dont buy fuel, cereals or tea/coffee, I dont even use sugar or salt. I shop for all my food at the butchers or at the market, and if I cant buy what I need from there I will reluctantly spend more money at the Spar. The thing is, shopping costs me more at the supermarket, so I cant understand the price problem.
I obviously buy clothes and I dont research into wear it came from, but I am disgusted by companies like Topshop that have their clothes made by cheap foreign labour abroad for unfair prices. Most of my clothes have come from the charity shop.
