    The countries that practice human slavery (including child slaves) are easy enough to avoid if you know how, but their products are in every cheap chocolate treat in every North American grocery store. One has to take care.

    I’m not aware of the slavery in coffee production. I don’t consume it but I’d be interested in learning more to pass along.

    But what is the relevance of these things? Not sure why you’re whatabouting atrocity but I hope you are as diligent about avoiding the abuse of vulnerable individuals as you would like me to be.

      It’s quite relevant. If drinking milk makes you a murderer then in that view consuming chocolate makes you a slaver.

      I’d argue someone enslaving humans is way worse than anyone killing cows. But that’s up to your own morality to determine.

      I hope you are as diligent about avoiding the abuse of vulnerable individuals as you would like me to be.

      Don’t suddenly act like you weren’t calling other murderers for their consumption choices. Not too nice when it’s turned around?
