Never look at the supply chain for anything you purchase. The veil lifts quickly and you can never go back.
You can pay extra to get fair trade certified chocolate that promises the company uses only a little bit of child slave labour, as a snack.
Yeqh like when nestle launched a premium version with no slave labour, they didn’t have less slavery overall they just used more slavery-produced chocolate in their other products
You can go back, you just have to convince yourself that you need treats more than those unseen-by-you children need their suffering alleviated. The human brain is surprisingly good at this
Or just convince yourself you not buying the product wouldnt change anything
Totally, case in point:
People still buy and burn gasoline.
Especially for electronics. The battery supply chain alone…
The secret ingredient to make chocolate taste good is tears of the slave kids harvesting it. /S
absolutely. And Best part of coconut milk was the monkey slavery
Tony’s Chocolonely is the brand you want. Not Blegian, I guess, but still pretty great.
Holy shit. I was today years old when I learned that it’s not called Tony’s Chocolate Bars.
I feel like I Mandela Effect myself.
I really wish they would make these gluten free because everyone says they’re great. :<
If the website is to be believed, you’re probably fine. Basically, gluten is not an ingredient in their regular chocolates, but they still share a production line with some gluten products, so there could by tiny trace amounts. If you’re just talking about a gluten intolerance or Celiac disease, trace amounts should be tolerable, right? Or do you have a more serious allergy?
Traditional Belgian chocolate you say?
Yeah the places known for chocolate are rarely places that can grow coco.
It wouldn’t be authentically Belgian otherwise.
So, Congo or Rwanda?
Yes
