I'm an ice cream snob, so I usually look down my nose at Ben & Jerry's. This week, though, I'm looking up and admiring its new vanilla Fairtrade ice cream, the first in the UK. While you get a tub of summer, the Indian vanilla bean farmers in Indian and the sugar cane choppers in Paraguay get a decent better wage. Ben and Jerry's may be owned by Unilever - largely regarded as 'not good' - but it also runs the very worthy Climate Change College and this Lick Global Warming site.The ice cream's on sale now down at various Sainsburys and Co-Ops.
