Free-Trade Coffee

Is it morally unsound to not buy free trade coffee?

My roommate was recently basically telling me I was a terrible person for not buying free trade coffee. First of all, I am a college student and can’t afford free trade coffee. Second of all, I have never tasted free trade coffee that was particularly good. So, as a Christian, is it wrong of me to not put forth the extra money and buy free trade? Or is it right for me to live within my means and buy the cheaper coffee that I enjoy more?

I don’t answer to any religion as to whether what I do is right or wrong. That being said. From this point on I am going to buy Fair Trade Coffee. Why? Because after being reminded by people like JAICEE what children and others go through to get us this cheap coffee, I felt guilty that I was doing exactly what he said, putting my head in the sand and making the excuse that it was much more expensive than the brand I buy. He is right in everything he states, there to many of us putting our heads in the sand and making excuses.

Our decisions should not be made in accordance to how a particular religion teaches their beliefs. It should be according to how we, ourselves feel when we know that we should be doing more to help the starving and poor people of this world. Otherwise it will never change.
