I don’t feel good eating your chocolate Hershey’s. So now we only eat fair trade chocolate, which, by the way, is hard to find.

Gabriela Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 The hug bit is the cutest part. Straight from international social justice boycott to infantile chain-mail superstition... :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubertus Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I liked it also. Hershey's seems to be commenting on lots of posts by other people, so I'm sure they've seen it at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missionseeker Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) So my sister and I have been craving chocolate chip cookies for weeks. Unfortunately we are in charge of the boys and shopping with Dom for anything is like having a consumer conscience and he's loud. So today we spent 20 mins in the chocolate aisle with iPhones looking up where different companies buy their chocolate. Most were sadly from the ivory coast. Hershey, Nestlé, ghirredeli all of those own the others like cadbury us and Reese's etc, THEN we found: http://laborrightsblog.typepad.com/international_labor_right/2011/09/mars-inc-joins-the-fairtrade-movement.html So we are having m&m cookies tonight. Even though they aren't completely fair trade yet, the agreement they signed aims to have them using only fairtrade, sustainable farms which is quite a big switch and we are glad they are actually doing something.
