I don't know why I didn't know this before, but I do now and I'm disgusted.

Did you know that most leading brands of chocolate are made from cocoa from farms using child slave labor on the Ivory Coast?

Neither did I.

It is a sad story. There really isn't much we can do about it.

botanists should be able to develop strains of cacao that grow in the continental united states. Then it can be grown and harvested by illegal aliens and the Amish.
