Why did chocolate ever need to involve child slavery. Fuckin Nestle man, fuck you
Why, Profit of course.
If you think this started with chocolate, I’ve got some bad news for you.
At least it's not like there was no child slavery and then we found cocoa beans and went, "you know what this could use....*
Because the chocolate industry like many others could not grow without child and slave labour. And because the big industry players we have now built their empires on the backs of the easily exploitable they can't stop doing it without losing wayyyy more than they're comfortable with.
