Comments on: Dark Chocolate: Are You Eating Child Slavery? http://nourishedmagazine.com.au/blog/articles/dark-chocolate-are-you-eating-child-slavery Wisdom to thrive by Fri, 12 Mar 2010 20:45:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Amy http://nourishedmagazine.com.au/blog/articles/dark-chocolate-are-you-eating-child-slavery#comment-19510 Amy Tue, 02 Feb 2010 05:32:48 +0000 http://nourishedmagazine.com.au/?p=534#comment-19510 Thanks so much for this article! I just came home to Oz from a trip to Ecuador and while those who produce cacao (at least of a local - family/community - level) do not use slavery, they are paid a pittance for their hard work! US$2.00 for a whole harvest, in a family about 5 trees. I came home determined to only eat Fair Trade chocolate. I've always had something against Lindt that I could never explain - and now I actually have reason! Also, Haigh's chocolate is Fair Trade - I went in just a few days ago and they were able to give me some great info. Also, does anyone know any chocolate brands who use cacao from South America? Thanks! Thanks so much for this article!

I also have a blog where I talk about slavery, but not in a certain place, but around the world. I think it is very important to stop child slavery, because it's affecting our children’s future and generations. Hope you agree with me! I totally agree on what we can do to stop child slavery. I cannot believe all the important facts about chocolate child slavery, it's amazing how we have all this things around us and we don't even know where it actually comes from, and who the ones to make it are. I would also like for you to visit my blog and tell me what you think about it, if you could give me a little feedback, I would appreciate it! http://skillsworthlearning.com/nano/ziggy Hi, my name is Berenice and I was really impressed by your blog and the information in it.

I think you should mention Don't Trade Lives. It's a World Vision campaign that unites Australians against human trafficking and slavery. We are calling for the chocolate companies to sign an action plan by the 1st of December so they can make a genuine attempt at tackling the root causes of child labour and exploitation in cocoa production.

They were very helpful to me when writing this article.

I loved the statistics you have, but when I was looking on the Hershey's website found that they listed that they do use fair trade. Could you please give me details on how you came about this information. As well for Nestle, Mars, and Lindt? I love all this information. I just want to make sure that all these stats are credible. Thank you so very much! Beth Hello, I am a college student and doing a sociology project, on human activism, on fair trade chocolate in Africa.
