Research by the Nederlands Dagblad has shown that Max Havelaar Foundation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stichting_Max_Havelaar) is not paying a single penny more for the "fair-trade" products they buy from the farmers. Even more shockingly is that most farmers didn't even knew they are part of a "fair-trade" foundation that should give them a better price. Research from the new paper has shown that the additional money people spent on these "fair trade" products is actually spent on the organisation of the foundation. So-much for the world first fair-trade certification #FAIL  or #FRAUD?!

Another reason to click the link might actually be to read the paper that is actually kinda exciting as well if you want to live for ever 😉

Scary privacy news from back home…. The government is seriously thinking about giving itself the opportunity to have access to any DNA related material hospitals or your gp has to fight crime. Of-course at the moment of introduction this would only be allowed for "serious" crimes but then again I think this is a dangerous move to make as it could seriously threaten the health of even the general public if people don't get treatment for some illnesses.

Justitie: dna ziekenhuizen gebruiken
Justitie moet in de toekomst dna kunnen gebruiken dat in ziekenhuizen wordt bewaard voor wetenschappelijk onderzoek. Dat wil minister Schippers.
