We All Love Chocolate, but Not this kind by Jay-son Mena

Dear chocoholic,

 Welcome to the life of 7 year old Abdul,
A life Gathering and cutting cocoa pods. He should be getting paid for his backbreaking Work, but he doesn’t. Child labor is used to make most of your favorite chocolates.

The children play the most important role one farms and cocoa industries. First, cutting of the cocoa pods off the trees. Then, the processes of slitting open the hard shell of the cocoa plant and removing the sticky like substance and dry them out. When dried, banana leaves are laid on the ground and the cocoa beans are put to dry on them. When dried the cocoa beans are bagged and shipped to many chocolate industries.

To help stop this child labor you and many others can buy fare trade chocolate, cocoa gathered by farmers them selves, Limiting the amount of child labor and help rebuild many families.  

Of course, young children are going to get hurt. According to “child slavery and chocolate”, states “he can’t clear grass him without cutting his self.” This proves that children are getting hurt all day. Children s cuts and wounds get extremely infected by dangerous acids from cocoa pods.

In conclusion, people should help reunite families. we people and or concerned citizens should'nt buy fare trade chocolate rather then buying this dreadful chocolate.
