  I’m sure all the extra profits go to the landowners and middlemen, with the workers responsible for producing the cocoa still paid the pittance they were 5-10 years ago.

    Idk how much you’ve read up on it. But that’s not actually true.

    !A significant percentage of the workers are slaves!<

  I’m never going to financially recover from this.
