Dear Friends:

By following this link http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-15686731 you can view a moving report by the BBC about cocoa production in the Ivory Coast. In the light of stories like these chocolate loses all its sweetness.

I know I've lost my appetite for anything but Fair Trade chocolate. For some Fair Trade chocolate options see: http://www.equalexchange.coop/chocolate-bars

Abolition!
