What's behind your chocolate?

Whats really behind Cadbury's, Nestle, Mars and other big chocolates companies?

What can we do about it?

How are we going to make poverty history?

Please stand united as one with our simularities rather than let our differences divide us and fight poverty together as one.

Life is sacred so please value it and help to end the suffering and poverty.

Holy Quran 49:13
O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).

When u read liptontea12's comment, you are reading an ignorant voice speaking. I just wished that person would have had done their research before they spoke.

They are slaves, They are forced to work, They don't make money that they earn, They are dying to live.

@dark9944 It is similar to the blood diamond.. the goverment only gets 5% while the company gets 95% and the worker only gets a dollar a day which is not even 1 %.

@Muslimlibrary...fair trade....hahahhaa...yea right....does that mean that the companies have just admitted that all of their trade so far has been unfair....so whos prosecutung them for that then...?..its kinda like a seriel killer announcing that he aint gonna do any more killing, and no one holding him accountable for all the killing he did do but patting him on the back for not doing it anymore.....human beings are becoming stupider and stupider....

@CP1234hello22:

Hi, no its not like this with every chocolate... if it has the "fair trade" sign on the chocolate bar it means that that the there is no child labour involved, parents get a fair wage (which means that they can feed their families and send their kids to school) and plus you get the health benefits from eating chocolate (anti-oxidants etc) providing its a balanced amount :)

I don't care. As long as I can get a candy bar for $0.75

[CP1234hello22]

Can someone inform me about what the African does in this? Do they get a piece of the action or are they just bypassed and their farmers stolen?
