A bunch of other brands / companies are being sued as well, basically every major chocolate manufacturer in the world according to the article.

Fuck all will happen, but good it is finally getting some attention.

Now if only the rest of Nestle's utter evil gets more recognition.

Our lifestyles here in America basically depend on slavery. Capitalism is fucked up.

I think almost all of them are owned by the same corp at the very top, but now I'm questioning if fair trade chocolate is safe.

Yeah, but I didn't read the article, so I don't know which ones they are, so I'm in the clear.

This is bigger than just a lawsuit, the entire Government of Ivory Coast should be on trial for letting these actions occur.

Many of the companies being sued and that use child and slave labour have some fade trade products, or claim to be. So a bit buggered whatever you do unless go for stuff away from the big corporations and check to make sure yourself beyond the label.

I pretty much only buy Endangered Species brand chocolate nowadays. That's supposed to be ethically sourced.

Just like with diamonds, it's very difficult to track where the chocolate originated from in its entirety and unfortunately regulation on these things is very rarely enforced or investigated

Do the roller coaster screams at Hershey Park help fuel the chocolate factory?

You know, there's a user here who sells chocolate. Or, their partner makes it and they sell it sometimes.

I'm starting to consider it.
