tzone92 Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 http://www.foodrevolution.org/slavery_chocolate.htm Slavery did not end in 1865. There are still many slaves, illegally, of course. But who could have thought that such an innocent thing as a chocolate candy bar was most likely made by slavery?

Nom Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Well... Yeah, slavery still exists, unfortunately, even though it's illegal everywhere. Seems to take low priority though. Anyway, this isn't going to stop me from eating chocolate 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satenza Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Meh, even the fair trade stuff isn't much better. They still get paid very little and with things like the coffee market (being completley saturated from head to toe) fair trade companys are kept afloat by them being fair trade, it's not like the care that much about the people who make them - it's just a selling device. But still, it is better than non-fair trade goods. Unfortunatley capitalism needs a proletariat, and the new proletariat are those who will work for literally anything to stay alive. England no longer has a proletariat, we have moved into global capitalism. With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echofish Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 *Examines closely with a magnifying glass* Nope, no slavery in this one. Slavery's gonna be one very hard thing to abolish. It's still happening, but not very known by the goverment and stuff. Ultra Unholy,Hearted Machine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zonorhc Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Yes, and I love it. It's the basis for our first-world consumerist society, didn't you know? Varrock Library: Shattered Sky | Silent Thunder | The Emperor's FinestAstri @ MythWeavers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
