Sir, - It is precisely where there is a gap between law and morality that consumer power can be most effective ("Unilateral US action follows years of transatlantic wrangling over bananas", The Irish Times, March 6th). Irish consumers should boycott all Chiquita and Dole products until the US/EU trade war is resolved in favour of the smaller producers of the Caribbean and Africa. After all, the best way to deal with bullies is to stand up to them. - Yours, etc., Grainne Collins,
