in africa one of the ways people make money is by producing chocolate but to do so they need lots of workers. it is expensive to pay workers for what they are doing so many people turn to child labor so they can have a source of free work. this takes the kids away from their families and puts them in harms way while on the job (which includes machetes and poisonous chemicals)
i think this is horrible! you can get fair trade chocolate theta is much better and is not produced with child slaves!!!
