Stop the Chocolate
A couple weeks ago we had someone come speak at our church.
He was talking about Human Traffiking. It is the 2nd most profitable crime in the world.
I love chocolate and anyone that knows me, knows this to be true.
Unfortunately I found out that small boys are being stolen from villages all around Africa and are sent to work in cocoa bean fields to harvest yummy, delicious chocolate for people like.......me.
I have since stopped eating chocolate. I had no idea this was happening and it makes me sick.
There are a few companies that are being responsible and I am going to get some of that so that I don't get the shakes.
I want everyone to know about this and I am going to start emailing the companies that normally I would have used. My niece Lydia already has a letter out to Nestle since she loves to bake and was devastated that people would do this to small children and that we could be part of the problem if we don't speak out.
Here's the website.

Torey you better research coffee crisps and let us know if they are still o.k.
thank you. as a fan of chocolate, i too, found this to be a shock. if you get more info about what chocolates to buy, please tell us!!
S. If you go to the website link that I put at the bottom you will then see in blue an area that says "Good Chocolate Guide"
Click on that and I recommend looking at all areas of the world not just in the US West Coast California, because they have a lot more and some brands that they said were in the UK I have seen sold at Harvest Health. The tricky thing is that it's not always by brand, BUT by brand AND then by specific bars. I don't know why this is.
So far I have found these brands.
Green and Black
Starbucks
Divine
OR you are in Trader Joe country being in Seattle right now so go there and stock up and get there Tamari Almonds while you are there they're great:)
Miss you at church.

......Trader Joe's Chocolate is also safe.
