weirdbeardgameCandy company Mars uses cocoa harvested by kids as young as 5 in Ghana: CBS News investigation
Also known as slaves, since they are not paid, not allowed to go to school or leave, and beaten and cut as punishment.
Stop eating slave chocolate, folks.
There is ethical chocolate available.
Tier 1 Build-A-Bear 🧸Ok, where?? So I was already avoiding Nestle, now I find out Mars is in on this shit too. Is there any chocolate I can eat that isn’t born from child slave labor? Are Reese’s ok? I just want chocolate without supporting literal slavery.
Most supermarkets these days have ethical chocolate alternatives. Their brandsx aren’t as well-known so you might not notice them unless you’re looking for them, that was my case.
Then the first time I looked for ethical chocolate, chocolonely was right there on display in the first Safeway I walked into.
