Do you know the Real Story behind Chocolate? By Christian Firpo

  Have you ever imagined working non-stop with not enough food to eat and receiving no money? This is what some children below 18 are suffering from. Do you want to learn more? Well then read on.

 Children play a critical role in the making of chocolate. Their role is to cut down cocoa beans with a weapon. This weapon can also be used as a tool in this case. The name of this weapon is a machete. Anyhow, to produce chocolate they have to go through a certain process. You cut down the cocoa beans and send it to the factory. According to the article” Child Slavery and Chocolate”, it states information about a young child working hard.

  Children might play a certain role in the making of chocolate but they are also impacted by the amount of work done. A certain work that impacts them is working with a machete which affects them because they might get badly injured and cut due to sharpness of the blade.

  Companies that don't use children print a little tag in the back of the wrapper  symbolizing that it was made with Fair-Trade chocolate. Fair trade Chocolate means that they pay farmers a fair amount of money because they work and cut down cocoa beans and it also means that they don't use children.

   In conclusion, we have all learned a bit about child Labor and about their struggle but we shall support people trying to stop child labor. This is a serious case and hope you understand that.
