A friend of mine is closely involved with an organization like this here in Michigan, and I've been teaching about the slave issue surrounding chocolate. I understand it's also prevalent with coffee, and it's surprisingly easy to be supporting slavery without knowing it. Part of this comes from just looking for the CHEAPEST products possible, rather than looking for quality or thinking about the REAL costs of something, including the cost of supporting slavery. Awareness is the first key to us making any sort of change, so I'm glad you shared this.Stevehttp://www.stevemccardell.comnoreply@blogger.com
