I’m Just Sayin’…

Bittersweet

May19

A while back I made the startling discovery that the chocolate I love so dearly was most likely being harvested by one of 12,000 trafficked children who labor on the cocoa farms of Cote D’Ivoire, Africa.  According to my research, both Nestle and Hershey have been know to turn a blind eye to the business of child labor.  I don’t think I’ll ever be able to eat another Hershey Kiss again.  But guess what, there is hope for those of us who cannot imagine a life without chocolate.  There is a free printable guide to ensure that your chocolate is is traffick free.   www.stopthetraffik.org/chocolatecampaign
