Valentines Day is just around the corner and many of us will be receiving and giving chocolates to loved ones. I LOVE Dark Chocolate, not so crazy about the milk, and white can be good from time to time, but I hope to receive some chocolate on this special day... hint, hint!!
However, I don't want to be a part of suffering as I am enjoying my chocolate.
Did you know that slave and child labor is often used in the production of chocolate? Thankfully advocates for human rights have put together resources to help us, the average consumer, speak with our pocket books.
Here are just a few of the products I would suggest staying away from :
Godiva (sad I know) ... If you love Godiva, let them know you want change (D-)
Russel Stover... one of my favorites growing up (D)
At least one I recommend:
Divine (A-).. You can find these at Ten Thousand Villages and a few other stores.
Also, Nestle is getting better (C)... they have made a lot of progress over the past year or so

Happy Valentines Day!!!
