Slavery is Just Plain Wrong
| Hey I'm back! I just wanted to post about slavery. I am now an abolitionist. (It's not like I agreed with slavery before, it's just I didn't really know that it existed anymore.) So now I don't eat chocolate anymore. Well, yes I do, but only if it's fair trade chocolate. Fair trade chocolate is when the cocoa beans that go into chocolate are harvested by paid laborers. You see, the cocoa beans that go into non-fair trade chocolate are harvested by child slaves. I just can't support that! When I tell people about, they are disgusted, but they always say the same thing: "I wish I could help, but I can't give up chocolate!" I try to tell them they don't have to, that they can buy fair trade chocolate, but by then they are disinterested and move onto a new subject. Well, to tell the truth, fair trade chocolate is a little more expensive than the normal stuff, but I don't mind spending a little extra money, knowing that I am boycotting child slavery. So think about it... it could change someone's life! |

I do have a question: Does a boycott do any good if you don't write the company and tell them you're boycotting them. If you just boycott and nobody knows, what good is that? Just curious.
