    I watched that yesterday and I don’t have the heart to stop giving chocolate to my daughter, but I don’t know that I’ll be eating it any longer.

      On my life I didn’t click the link but I know it’s that John Oliver episode and I’m scared to watch it because I love chocolate. I know that’s selfish but I don’t have a lot of just for me things I enjoy and I’m loathe to take one away.

        That’s almost literally everything we consume in modern society. It all has costs that hurt someone along the way. Exploitation is a part of capitalism. Only you can draw your line in the sand.

          It would do the opposite of help unless by “help” you mean “encourage me to make better decisions about my health and wellness”

              I told my wife and daughter today that I wouldn’t be eating chocolate anymore and when I asked why, I said, “I’ll tell you, but only if you want me to ruin chocolate for you forever.” They opted not to know.
