Well, only Cadbury...No, you may not eat chocolate. Well, only Cadbury. <BR/><BR/>Beware of: Cocoa powder<BR/><BR/>The cost: Child labor. Seventy percent of the world’s cocoa (and most of the United States’) comes from West Africa, where nearly 300,000 children under the age of 14 toil in dangerous conditions on cocoa plantations. In the Ivory Coast, where more than half of the region’s cocoa is produced, more than 100,000 children work in near slavery, subject to both injury from the machetes used to harvest the plant and from toxic pesticides that are banned in the United States and Europe.<BR/><BR/>The alternative: Buy Fair Trade Certified cocoa, which comes from farms that only employ adults and use legal pesticides. The price is equivalent to that of gourmet chocolate. If you have to get your fix and can’t find Fair Trade chocolate, look for products from Cadbury. The British company buys 90 percent of its cocoa from Ghana, where trafficking of child workers is prohibited.<BR/><BR/>The future: In October, the World Cocoa Foundation and the U.S. Agency for International Development announced the establishment of the “Healthy Communities” program to help West African cocoa farmers improve their economic, social, and environmental standards. The program is designed to help as many as 150,000 farm families during the next five years. But with 700,000 farmers in the Ivory Coast alone, it’s unlikely to affect widespread changeCazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387674413840435759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-1166095626373536492006-12-14T22:27:00.000+11:002006-12-14T22:27:00.000+11:00I'm no expert in Antarctic food, but I thought onl...I'm no expert in Antarctic food, but I thought only Catholics ate penguins, and then only on Sundays. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, why would I eat penguins when there are whales available?TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333303180015967125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-1166088728790795112006-12-14T20:32:00.000+11:002006-12-14T20:32:00.000+11:00hmmm. you pose difficult questions timt but since...hmmm. you pose difficult questions timt but since this is the worst you has come up with (I is not naive i has heard much worse in my time attempting to convert the pagan peoples and the sinners) i think i may see a path to redemption for you.
