Saw a very bleak children's book today. A book about how cocoa beans are turned into chocolate sounds pretty great and fun for kids... but by HERSHEY?! "First, little boys and girls just like you go to work in the cocoa farms in Côte d'Ivoire for up to 14 hours every day to earn like 25 cents..."

"...And then savvy chocolate makers like Hershey buy this child slave labor chocolate, add butyric acid so it tastes a bit like vomit, and sell it at low low prices that are still way too high for any of the people who farmed the cocoa beans in the first place to afford! Isn't that fun?"
