Chocolate: Your Savory = Child Slavery

I will not lie, I love chocolate and at any chance, I usually indulge myself with a chocolate bar or two or three for that matter. I didn't realize that most of my chocolates (cacao) comes from Africa. Africa is one of the biggest exporters of cocoa (cacao) and some of its client includes: Nestle's, Hershey, Ghirardelli and etc. These plantations where cacao comes from employs child workers as a form of cheap labor. These underage workers are usually trafficked from poor rural areas and sold to plantations for as little as $250 US dollars. Most of these children will spend of their life at the plantation working without ever getting a penny in return. This is modern day slavery and we should voice our concerns! The officials within the African government are corrupted and that will never change unless we voice our concern and demand that our chocolate companies make a stance against child slavery and enforce their policies that they set forth but yet to enforce because their business ethic resolves around PROFIT.
