So its sugar season again. well it almost always is. But of course, our sweet consumption ramps up about now.

And I am glad there seems to be a bit mire awareness that so much of mainstream chocolate uses cocoa harvested by child slaves.

That's right. Child slaves. Little kids who should be in school but instead they are being used and abused. Fortunately there is something you can do about this. There are companies that use ethically sourced cocoa. Please see... www.slavefreechocolate.org/…

Thx for stopping by and enjoy! And of course VOTE

Be kind to children..don't buy slave labor chocolate

Hard to believe its almost Easter. And so much going on. But it appears that the chocolate giants are still using cocoa harvested by child slaves in Africa.

That's right..child slaves, using huge machetes..at risk if serious injury. Kids, abused and used, who should be in school.

But you can use the list below to buy ethically sourced chocolate. Munch up but be kind.

Be a good sweetheart, buy slave free chocolate.

Well, as valentines day approaches, I want to remind everyone that you can choose ethically sourced chocolate and avoid supporting companies that use, abuse child slaves to harvest their cocoa. This is a list of the good companies.

www.slavefreechocolate.org

Additionally, there has been a possible move by Nestle, one of the biggest offenders, to improve these conditions. But it may just be a PR ploy..I really don't know so it would need further dtudy.

Thx for stopping by..enjoy and remember to be good to these kids.

Be a good ghost..buy slave free chocolate!

In the cocoa industry. Not hyperbole but an ugly reality.

Many may still not know, but much of mainstream chocolate uses cocoa harvested by child slaves. Thankfully there has been a major new lawsuit filed to hold these criminal companies accountable. iradvocates.org/...

And you can help. Be a good sweetheart this Valentine’s Day. Make sure to buy slave free chocolate..see list below, and many thanks for stopping by.

A Christmas like no other. But there is a light you can shine a little brighter. You can support the slave free chocolate movement

And not just slaves but children. Kids used and abused. To harvest cocoa used by companies like Nestle. Who is at the Supreme Court trying to be immunized from their culpability in this.

But you can help..buy slave free chocolate.. and have the very best holiday you can.

As I have written about before, a significant portion of mainstream chocolate is made from cocoa harvested by child slaves on the Ivory Coast of Africa.

Yes, child slaves. Emaciated, abused and used kids.

Now Nestle Usa and Cargill have a case coming before the Supreme Court to provide them immunity from using these children. Cause of course they are cheap. Link to more information is below. Oh and shocked and angry that Neal katyal, who I used to appreciate is defending slavery. fortune.com/...

And fortunately there are ethically sourced chocolate companies. www.slavefreechocolate.org/...

I don’t know about anyone else but it sometimes can feel like we’re in a horrifying stephen king novel. And of course Halloween this year will be very different. I’m sure I don’t have to urge anyone to keep your children safe and follow the best guidelines.

But if you do buy chocolate, please buy from ethical companies. As many may not yet know, much of mainstream chocolate uses cocoa harvested by child slaves on the Ivory Coast of Africa. Below is a list of approved brands.
