How to stop eating chocolate.

Watch this programme tonight and it may be the solution to stop eating chocolate.

Panorama. Chocolate. The bitter truth.

No he doesn't. 7 yr olds are used as slave labour.

I found the programme quite upsetting and could not imagine what it was like for the children who were kidnapped and sold into slavery to reap benfits for their employers.
Big business talked a lot about improving the situation but seemed slow to respond and Fair Trade were not as active about this as they could have been.

Could you imagine children here being removed from their homes and forced to work a 10 hr. day for no pay and without any schooling that may have helped improve their future lives.
