If that's true, I'm going into denial. Starting now.

I understand each of the words, but when you put them together like that, they don't make any sense.

Oh... Lord help us. And they're growing CORN instead?! Like we really need more CORN? In light of this, maybe we should lobby for the government to subsidize cacao instead of corn?? I bet that would go over well in Iowa.

Sorry to be a bummer in a light-hearted thread, but I just found out several months ago that child slavery is very real and happening in West Africa on cocoa farms. And the big international chocolate companies are resisting doing anything, like refusing to buy from those suppliers and enacting slavery-free certifications for their products. It has put a major damper on my chocolate eating.

One anti slavery organization has a list of approved chocolate, and Kroger cocoa powder is on the list, as is the Whole Foods 365 Dark Chocolate bar. Also, it is pretty likely that organic chocolate is safe (and unfortunately very expensive)...

Oh well. I never liked chocolate anyway. Bring out the chocolate-less Reese peanut butter cups!!
