Stop Human Trafficking Chocolate Campaign
Nearly half of the world’s chocolate comes from the Cote D’Ivoire in Africa. An estimated 12,000 children have been enslaved on cocoa farms in Core D’Ivoire. I will no longer buy chocolate that is not from a reliable and ethical source. Many companies make an effort to avoid slave chocolate, however the five largest manufacturers of milk-chocolate-candy (Nestle, Hersheys, Mars, Cadbury and Phillip Morris) DO NOT. They claim that they have no control over the problem. This is not true. (source - http://www.xocoatl.org/harvest.htm)
