Jeanette Perez 601 The addicted lover

                                  The Addicted Lover


Dear chocoholic,
                                                                                                              Industries around the world don't know the dark side of chocolate. Industries that sell chocolate are blinded by the money. People around the world are trying to stop these blinded people and child abuse. In ,'' Child slavery and chocolate : all too easy to find '', they show the truth.


     Can you imagine the harsh pain children have to go through to get cocoa? Children are forced to work in farms working dangerous roles. One of the roles for the children in the farms is to collect cocoa beans from the trees. Children get injured all over their bodies because of the large machetes. According to,'' Child slavery and chocolate : all too easy to find '','' .... scars crisscross Yacou's legs from a machete. He cant clear grass in the cocoa fields without cutting himself.''

     Ther're  many ways to avoid eating child labor chocolate. Reverse trick or treating is one way to avoid chocolate made from child labor. Reverse trick or treating is when kids give out fair trade chocolate for Halloween. Fair trade chocolate is chocolate that is not made from child labor. According to,'' In 2001 to ensure that their products are not grown and processed on farms where the       '' worst forms of child labor.'' Such as trafficking children and compulsory labor, persist.

         In conclusion, children are suffering around the world because of chocolate lovers. Making a change about child labor is just the beginning. Governments haven't taken full effect over the cause. But making a little change can be a big difference. 



                                                                                                                            Sincerely,
                                                                                                                 Jeanette Perez
