Check Peter Kuruvita's Mexican Fiesta on YouTube for a tour of Mexico's culinary treasures. The Mexican vanilla and cacao beans displayed on the YouTube clip, are often harvested and sold at unethical prices to US consumers though.

Fair wage, fair trade products, made or harvested in Mexico continue to be challenging to find in the US. How much of Crate and Barrel's Mexican products are acquired at unethical prices from poor Mexican factory workers, too illiterate to demand and get humane working conditions, plus fair wages?

They should be pocketing at least 75% of the profits from all Mexican products, including glasswares, plus their cash crops, especially vanilla beans and cacao. They need to sue the largest US corporations in an international crime court with the United Nation's assistance for proper compensation.

It's time for Mexican President Nieto to create a profound legacy, with our US President Obama, of compassion for the poor Mexican farm and factory workers. When will they truly receive fair wages and working conditions, I wonder? It would help President Nieto's administration to fully fund drilling more wells for clean drinking water at the elementary schools, run adequate orphanages and food aid programs for the many homeless, little toddlers, who shiver in thin tee shirts and sleep on the dark, asphalt streets of Tijuana, Mexico alone.

So many small, innocent, malnourished children there have no shelter, let alone a mattress to lay upon. Many have never had a crib, running water or a fridge at all. These tiny orphans have never had a brand new, unopened jar of peanut butter to call their own even. Yet this is where American corporations repeatedly steal food from their poor mouths, no questions asked.

America continues to be allowed by the international business community to oppress, cause infighting, and disenfranchise its neighbor, Mexico, like a big bully. For the world to stand by without advocating for Mexico's helpless is to participate in this same oppression.
