We Love Chocolate

What are the first two things that come to mind when we say “Valentine’s Day”? Love and chocolate. Two of the best things in the world combined into one day? Count us all in! But let’s ask ourselves what chocolate truly is. How is it made? Where does it come from? Who made it? The more questions we answer, the more we realize that the story of chocolate isn’t one of love; it’s one of pain and suffering. And this Valentine’s Day, we’re all going to tell the stories of chocolate and its victims. 70% of the world’s cocoa is grown in Western Africa and is controlled by a few major global corporations like Hershey’s, Nestle and Mars. Farmers struggle to make ends meet, so children often work in the plantations too. Worse, children are regularly trafficked from one plantation to another, imprisoned for the rest of their lives. Milk that goes in chocolate comes from cows who too are lifelong prisoners. Their bodies are exploited year after year for the milk and babies they produce, milk being the “product” and babies the “by-product”. Together, let’s challenge racism, capitalism and speciesism.
